2019 Spring Visual Arts Show Help Needed

5/30/2019

 
Picture
Friday, June 7th, 3:30 p.m- 5 p.m.
Second semester's visual arts exhibit, Avatars, Chibis & Superflat (Inspired by Takashi Murakami), takes place on Friday, June 7th, from 3:30-5 pm in the first floor hallway.

As always, it takes a dedicated team of volunteers to transform the first floor hallway into a colorful gallery to display our students' art. And before school ends, we'll need a team to take down the exhibit.

Please sign up to help for an hour or two - any time you can spare will help Mrs. Vecchioni showcase the creative spirit of the Waters' students in their Visual Arts classes

All For Books - Twice As Nice Change Campaign!

5/15/2019

 
Our school is collecting funds for the All For Books program again this month. By donating $1 or any loose change, you will help purchase books for some students during our book fair June 4-6. Since this is a BUY 1, Get 1 FREE fair, your kindness will go twice as far! 

What's more, the donations we collect also help readers beyond our school and community. Scholastic matches monetary donations up to $1 million in books and distributes those books to children in need. 

Baggies for funds will be sent home soon. Please return donations by TUESDAY, MAY 28 to classroom teachers or drop off in office. 

Thank you for your help!

​If you have any questions, please contact Hilary Prosser.
