Before the break the entire school watched Aché Brasil, an ArtStarts performance.

Aché Brasil fuses Brazilian music, dance and capoeira to teach students about the culture, dances, tradition and history of Brazil.

Black History Month

Students have been enjoying the nice weather outside - playing in the sun and tracing their friends in chalk. 

As the seasons change so does the artwork that lines our hallways. Take a look at some of the beautiful creations our students have done.

The book fair was a huge success again with total sales of $8312.66!!! That translates into $3744.30 worth of books for the school. 

Madame Gratton and her student Nolan won the family draw with the prize being $20 of books for both the student and the classroom.

Thank you to all the volunteers and everyone that purchased from the book fair.
