Our Fifth and Second graders have been learning all about the artist Alma Thomas! 🎨 Both classes explored her unique style and had the opportunity to try it themselves. Fifth grade practiced techniques like printing and creating slow, square brush strokes, while second grade approached her style in a different way—cutting and gluing square, mosaic-like pieces to create their artwork. The results were colorful, creative, and full of inspiration!

A look back at the last week of first semester in Culinary Arts! 👩🍳👨🍳
Students wrapped things up by choosing what to cook, revisiting favorite recipes from the semester and trying out some new ones. In total, 82 different recipes were made this semester! There was a lot of cooking, a lot of learning, and yes… a lot of eating too. 🍽️😄

Fourth grade artists have been busy! 🎨🏙️
Students learned about skylines and cityscapes, then put their creativity to work by designing gingerbread-themed cityscapes using cardboard and paint. Each student carefully sketched their ideas, cut them out, and assembled their creations onto a canvas board—resulting in some sweet and imaginative artwork!
