Mrs. Stevens has been with us as the orchestra assistant for the last couple of months and she has been such a huge help to our program!! It is with a sad heart that we say “see you later” to her and wish her well as her last day is April, 5. She is going to spend time with her family and get ready to welcome a new bundle of joy in July.

In Mrs. Williams’ art class, we have just finished learning about graffiti and tagging our territory in the art room. We will be moving onto illustrating bugs and developing value in the following weeks. In Mr. Hunt’s art class, we are continuing to work on our grid art project.
