Message from Mr. Kingery
Dear Art Rutkin Elementary Families,
We had a wonderful Fun Run today. Another first for our new school. Thank you to our PSO and staff members who worked together to make this a great event for students. We enjoyed a fun spirit week leading up to today’s fun.
We have some important things happening this coming week. Please read this newsletter for all the details. We start the week celebrating Mr. Bill, our building specialist, for custodial staff day. He is a one person show taking care of our entire campus. We appreciate you Mr. Bill. We also have the BORA Architects photography all-day event on Oct. 3rd. They are the designers of our amazing new school. Please remember to send the photo consent forms that went home earlier this week. See that form for details.
WALK & ROLL TO SCHOOL - OCT. 4TH
We have the first Walk & Roll to school event along with the other schools across Tigard and Tualatin. Please see the information in this newsletter for a fun morning of walking and rolling to school on Oct. 4th.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR ART LITERACY
Please consider attending the first Art Literacy program meeting on Friday, Oct. 6th at 3:00 PM in our school maker space. This is a great way to volunteer and support learning here at school.
Enjoy a wonderful weekend!
Mr. Kingery
Our School Song
Mrs. McKean wrote and taught each class our school song. Everyone kept it a secret and then sang it to the staff during our first assembly last Friday. Mrs. McKean did a wonderful job and the students sang it with such pride and ownership. We are so proud of everyone.
Art Rutkin Culture Survey
Want to learn more about art?
We need volunteers for Art Lit! The time commitment is 2-4 hours per month and can be based on your availability. Volunteer facilitators give a preassigned presentation to a class and help them complete an art project. The more helpers we have in each classroom the better the experience for the students and volunteers. No experience or art abilities needed! Volunteers must be able to successfully complete a background check through the district. Please contact Leah Baldwin if you're interested: rutkinartlit@gmail.com.
Walk+Roll to School Day
International Walk+Roll to School Day is October 4th. Art Rutkin Elementary is joining the City of Tigard in walking and rolling to school.
