Quick note
This time of year brings out great support through out our community. We are fortunate to have people that are willing to share time and care. This is a great time to think about what/who you are thankful for. I know I am thankful for the great friendships and family that our Fletcher Miller school has. Hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving Break! There are a lot of activities to do before Winter Break. Check out the dates below for some of the fun things ahead.

Secondary
Art
Jewelry
High School
In this unit the students learned about jewelry. We focused on the function of jewelry now and in the past. We also learned about different jewelry techniques. The students were given a choice of making adapted, embossed jewelry, or enameled jewelry. We learned about the history and process involved in each of these techniques.
During our research one of our students showed a great deal of interest in a video in which two sisters created a company that made artistic covers for wheelchair wheels. This interest created a third option, to create artistic wheelchair wheel covers. This also provided an opportunity for a teachable moment for everyone on circumference, diameter, radius, and area.
In the process of creating the jewelry, an emphasis was put on making aesthetic choices that were personally interesting or important to the students. They were encouraged to express themselves through their art!

PTA Wish List
Greetings Fletcher Miller Community,
As you may know, each December, our Special Needs PTA has hosted a fundraiser called "Breakfast with Santa". This event is PTA's main fundraiser each year. It provides families a place to connect with one another, eat breakfast, participate in holiday activities AND meet Santa. We need your help with supplies and materials for this event. The PTA has created an Amazon Wish-list that includes needed decorations and materials. If you are able to, please check out the wish-list by clicking on the Santa Hat.
If you have questions, feel free to reach out.
Thanks
Julie
