Good luck on your exams!  Please be sure to stop by the art room this week to pick up your work.  Unclaimed art will go on sale Monday June 4.  You don't want to have to buy back your work. 

May 29, 2012 Grades 6 and 7

This is a busy week for everyone and especially the sixth graders.  I hope the schedule will allow us some time in the art room to finish up some projects. 

Please remember to pick up your art work by this Friday June 1.  The Unclaimed Art sale begins June 4.  You don't want to have to buy back your work.

Congratulations!

The 2012 Discovery Week of the Arts was a celebration of your creative spirit.  From the poetry readings in the cafeteria (Pop…pop, pop…) to the Flash Masterpiece both Thursday and Friday, the opening of the art exhibit and the star studded Chronicles of Discovery Gala Friday night it was a week to remember.  Everyone participated in some way and most students in more than one way.  We had singing, dancing, art work, comedy, drama, literature all from Discovery students.   I am so very proud of all of you.

This week we will reflect on your art work and the work of others and restore the art room before we start new projects. Parents – art work will soon be headed for home. We will be selecting the “Best of Show” art work for our on line gallery at the Discovery website and the pieces to be framed for the permanent collection. 

 Good job students!  Well done! 

 See Mr. Fenn for your copy of the Chronicles of Discovery.

Ready - Set - Show!

The Walls are Waiting!

This is the Week of the Arts at Discovery School.

Student work is ready to hang in the library, art studio and computer lab.  Our students have worked all year and now for the last step in our projects – EXHIBIT!

A work of art is not complete until it has been viewed by another.

Students will be helping to hang the exhibit all week.  The exhibit opens Thursday after school until 5:00 pm and will continue throughout the day Friday until 7:00 pm and the start of the Chronicles of Discovery Gala.  Please come view the exhibit with your student and stay for the Gala.

Elementary School Safety Posters

Congratulations to students in grades 2 through 5 on completing their safety poster project. Watch for these posters during dismissal. Keeping our students safe is our first priority. The first objective of the poster project is to help students learn good safety habits.
