The Andy Warhol inspired can art display is up! Each student created their own limited edition soup flavor, which they designed their can to represent.
This aligns with the 12th Annual Superintendent's Souper Bowl.

During field day, students added their handprints to a collaborative canvas. Since then, I added our bobcat mascot to the middle. The students will be so excited to see the finished product when they return to school!

I am thankful to have been able to attend this event and learn of the innovation taking place in our region. During this, I had the opportunity to present on a panel of how I implemented a grant I received from ASU's Public School Partnership Program.

Dr. Seuss / Read Across America Week was a success! In art, we studied Dr. Seuss’ illustrations and learned of his topsy-turvy art style. Students then created their own Dr. Seuss worlds where anything was possible.
