Please take a look at the picture and see if any of these belongings are your child's. After vacation these items will continue to be on display until the end of the February, at that point all abandond items will be donated to a charity.

Students in 8th Grade Spanish classes recently completed a cultural unit about the Mexican artist, Diego Rivera. The unit culminated with a mural of one of his famous paintings where each student made one square which pieced together with their classmates' to form the masterpiece. This not only taught the students about the artist and the culture of Mexico but also involved a great amount of teamwork.
