Last week my school sent home a letter talking about all the valuable paintings the school board had just discovered laying around in their schools. One of the most valuable being the one found at my school.
A board member realized that some of the schoolsin my district had some very lovely looking paintings, so he decided to look into it to see what they wereworth. Turns out some of them were worth millions of dollars. They combed all the schools looking for vaulable painting and then they stumbled into my school where they found a painting, about the size of 2 (8.5" x 11") sheets of paper in the Principal's Office.
The painting was merely propped up against the wall on top of a drawer and was painted by one of the members of the Group of Seven, a famous group of painters from Canada, named Tom Thomson.
The story of how our school came in possession of the painting says that a teacher from the school had bought itfrom Tom Thomson while he was travelling in Algonquin Park and donated to the school. Long behold 2007 comes strolling around the painting ends up being worth $1.5 - $2.0 million dollars. Another big find was in a school auditorium. It turns out the walls were lined with paintings from a famous painter and added all together, the paintings are worth $5 - $10 million dollars.
However, these paintings have since been removed and have been placed in an air tight, high security vault until they find out what they want to do with it.
