Innovation & Santuary Gallery & Stage!

Check back for location details

Hello Everyone!

As we prepare for end of the year activities, we are planning a new form of collaboration to showcase our drama and visual art remote learning. We are planning to LAUNCH our first-ever K-8 RL VR Gallery & Stage! We’re calling it Innovation & Sanctuary!

We are working with a fabulous RL STUDENT Design Team (15+---What fun!) and feel fortunate for their hard work and creativity!

Our team is asking if there are any parent volunteers that have some time to help upload student work into Google Slide templates. It is fun, easy and rewarding work. It is also time consuming…:)

The more hands the merrier! Please email Mrs. Vecchioni (alvecchioni@cps.edu) if you have a few hours (day or night!) to dedicate to our new form of art show…;D! Thank you for your support.

And…If you know any special ways to help out---please join our team! We need graphic designers, videographers, tech specialists, web designers, computer engineers---and all forms of design thinkers and enthusiastic team players---and anyone willing to help out! Thank you for your support.

Our RL VR Gallery & Stage will be 6/16/20 (1-2PM).
Hooray! We plan to create a way to share student presentations after our showcase too, if you can’t make it, please email Mrs. Vecchioni (alvecchioni@cps.edu) with any requests, questions or concerns. We hope to have available via Aspen as well. Please stay tuned…


With Kindness,

The Innovation & Sanctuary Design Team
