Art Class Update
Dear Parents & Guardians, it is art supply fundraising season! Today I sent home an order form that is special to your child. It is for the "Original "Works" program which means you can order a product with your students' unique artwork on it. On the order form, you will find a sample picture of the artwork they made along with a special order code.
Students worked really hard this year, so please consider supporting our art program for more supplies for the kids! The deadline to order is April 10th. You can find all the instructions on how to place an order on the paper pamphlet that was sent out today.
Thank you so much for your support

Kid's Heart Challenge
A heartfelt thank you for your dedication to our Kids Heart Challenge at Coyote Creek Elementary! We're immensely proud of our students for wholeheartedly embracing this program—learning, helping, and cultivating vital life-skills along the way.
Together, we achieved:
- Check out our results! http://www2.heart.org/site/TR?fr_id=9733&pg=company&company_id=438784
- 105 Students joined our team!
- 10 Students completed Finn’s Mission, learned Hands-Only CPR, and learned how to spot a stroke F.A.S.T.!
- As of today we’ve raised an AMAZING $9,402.95 in donations for our goal!
The Siqueiros family shares their gratitude. Raising funds and awareness for the American Heart Association has impacted each of their three children as they all navigated a congenital heart defect.
