SCHOOL NEWS:

Winter Concert

We are quickly approaching the holiday season and would like to invite our Grade 1 to 6 families to our Winter Concert on Thursday December 12 at 6:30 p.m.

All students are asked to be at school for 6:15 p.m. and you will be receiving more specific instructions from your child’s teacher as we get closer to the date.

We would also like to ask at this time for all guests to stay for the entire show.  Our students and staff put a lot of effort into the concert and would like a full house when they hit the stage.

Thanks in advance and see you on December 12th!

Fundamental concepts of the Elements of Design, as well as the Principles of Art, are presented in a fun and engaging way. 

This art enrichment program is geared for success with approachable step-by-step projects. Create a new piece each week!
