Afterschool Art #5 🎨 Our artist of the month is Pablo Picasso! We learned a little bit about how he used color to create meaning and his cubism art movement! Then we designed disco balls and cubism portraits! Mrs. Hamilton made copies of the disco balls and there will be a group disco ball mural in the hallway in the near future! Woot woot! 🪩
“We Are 100 Days Brighter!”

1/13 Our Garden Club met right before it decided to turn cold again! It was just decent enough for the kids to spend some time outside cleaning out the raised beds. We also discussed seasonal produce. 🥬🍅🍎🥦
Friendly Reminder: Robotics is TODAY (1/14) from 3-4:30 PM. The meetings will be a bit longer going forward since the coding is taking a lot more time to get down. 🤖Coach Webster
Today, your child’s 2nd quarter report card will be sent home. Later this week, on Wednesday, families will also receive Family MAP reports along with the Helping Children Learn newsletter.
Please know that anytime student progress information is shared, you are welcome to request a parent meeting if you would like support in understanding the information or have questions about your child’s progress. We value our partnership with families and are happy to meet with you.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and our school.
