There are a few 2010-2011 yearbooks remaining. Drop by the school office if you would like to purchase last year's yearbook. Yearbooks are $28.00 per book. Thank you to those that have emailed me those great digital photo's-keep them coming! A good yearbook needs great photo's!
Kinder through Fifth grade art enjoyed creating "We Are All God's Little Blossom" hats. Keep an eye out the next couple of weeks for assorted projects depicting different line qualities. Where a line ends a shape begins!
Junior High art classes enjoyed creating a still-life with a masterpiece twist. Young artist works are hanging all around campus. Look out for the "puzzling" works of art to be displayed soon in the Junior High wing art display case.
Technology classes are utilizing NEO 2's as they strengthen their keyboarding skills. Students look forward to TechnoKids Computer Curriculum lessons this year.
Practice, practice, practice your keyboarding skills. You can visit the Dance Mat Typing webpage at http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/.
