BRING YOUR SNOWSHOES TO SCHOOL
This Week – Art Room


You might have heard that we are studying snow artists in the art room this month ... what fun!
Here are links to our three fascinating snow artists:

http://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2013/12/22/251615317/the-amazing-snow-art-of-simon-beck

Two of our artists use snowshoes to make their art and our students are quite fascinated with the history and construction of this snow art "tool."

If you have an old or new (especially old) set of snowshoes that the art room could use as an artifact for students to explore, please email me.

Thanks so much!
Mrs. Vecchioni

Coaches Needed for Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a program for 3rd-5th grade girls with a mission to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Waters is in need of volunteer coaches in order to host a Spring 2016 program. A minimum of two coaches is necessary, but with three we would be able to accept more girls. The season would start the end of February and end in May with a 5k in Grant Park. Please click here for more specifics or contact Sandi Barlow.​
