Each year the PTA sponsors a creative arts contest called "Reflections."  For the contest students are asked to submit an artistic piece that reflects the year's theme. 
This year's theme is...
 Students can choose to enter a piece in one of six categories:
 Dance choreography 
Film production 
Literature 
Musical 
Composition
Photography 
Visual Arts
 The piece they submit will be judged to find grade level winners, then primary grade winners and then school wide winners which allows for your child to win in multiple categories. It is a really fast and fun contest. Projects are due by November 5th.
As an incentive, students who choose to participate can submit a project in place of homework for one week. 
If you wish for your child to participate, please let me know which category or categories you are looking at and I can email you the specifics for that category and an entry form. We hope you will consider participating in Reflections this year.

Weekly Update #1

Dear Kindergator Parents,                                                            Hello. It was wonderful to meet you at Meet & Greet last week, and it has been very exciting to work with your children! We drew a picture of ourselves, read about a “Officer Buckle and Gloria” which lead into a discussion about how rules keep up safe.  We met and read about a “Ginger Bread Man” who got loose in the school.  This led us on a “wild goose chase” to find him and ended up taking us on a tour of all the special places in our school.  We chatted while we ate our snack, had fun during recess (in the gym), and had more fun chatting with our new friends at lunchtime. On Wednesday and Friday, we ended our day in the gym for PE, and on Thursday, we went to Art.  We have been very busy every day!  There are a few things I would like to ask of you, please. 1 .  Please send your child in with one snack each day. They may also bring in a water bottle, if they would like one (Please label
