News from the Art Cart!
There has been pure joy in art class these past few weeks as students created crowns and flags for our circus residency parade and performance! Students made flags on fabric using Sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol, creating a fun blending effect that transformed their mandala drawings with beautiful bursts of color. The crowns were just as exciting, made with mixed media and filled with bright colors, creativity, and imagination. Students are so excited to wear their creations, wave their flags, and cheer during the parade!

Winter Clothing Reminder
This is a reminder that during the winter months, please send your student to school with a hat, a pair of gloves or mittens, a coat, snow pants, and boots. Students go outside for recess unless the ‘feels like’ temperature is below zero degrees.
Also, please pack extra shoes for your student to wear inside the school building. Wearing wet snow boots is not only uncomfortable but makes for wet floors, which can lead to injury.
If you need assistance with obtaining winter coats, please contact me.
Thank you,
