Teacher Appreciation

Teacher Appreciation is a week held in February where we show our appreciation and spoil our teachers.  Each day of the week has a suggested theme where students and parents are able to thank teachers in different ways.  Our teachers are also shown appreciation with teacher dinners during parent teacher conferences and gifts during their birthday months.

Exploring the Arts

Would you like to be a part of your child's creative learning? All supplies, curriculum, resources and planning are done. We just need YOU!

​

This is a volunteer program for parents between October - April. We teach a 45-1 hour lesson in the classroom 1 day a week, usually Monday's (ask your student's teacher which day). Volunteers are asked to sign up for a month at a time to begin and end a new concept, artist, period or technique. 

​

Each grade does a Master Project, Name Plate, Self Portrait and Curriculum based project. At the end of the year we host a gala to exhibit all the artwork.

Fall Festival

Fall Festival is our major fundraiser for the year! In September we invite EVERYONE: students, siblings, grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, friends, neighbors and anyone that likes to have fun! Over the years it has become quite the don't-miss event. We have everything from bounce houses, food trucks, pony rides, hair studio, face painting, soda pop walks and SO MUCH MORE!!
