SSS WEEKLY UPDATE

This week, our K–2 students will take the i-Ready assessments, while our 3rd–8th graders will participate in the Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA). If we’re talking sports, this is our playoff season—and we’re aiming for a championship performance!

You can help your child do their best by:

• Making sure they get a good night’s sleep

• Providing a healthy breakfast at home or ensuring they eat at school

• Helping them arrive on time each day

• Talking with them about the importance of effort and education

We’re proud of how hard our students have worked this year, and we’re excited for them to show what they’ve learned. Thank you for your continued support—let’s go, team!

SPRAYFiNGER® Workshop at Josephine Sculpture Park

July 9-11, 2025, 10am-4pm (early drop off available through Yes Arts)

JSP welcomes youth ages 10-18 to a 3-day SPRAYFiNGER® workshop with Artist-in-Residence, Peyton Scott Russell! SPRAYFiNGER® is a graffiti arts community dedicated to elevating the art and culture of graffiti through educational programs and collaborations. SPRAYFiNGER® finds freedom in the flow of working with spray paint, in experimenting with color and line making, practicing the art of creative lettering, moving the aesthetics of graffiti into new mediums and contexts, and embracing continuous exploration. Participants will move from visualization to conceptualization to creating a strong composition on GRAPHOLOGYHENGE to be publicly unveiled at SoundScape! Music & Art Festival on Saturday, July 12.

Register today at josephinesculpturepark.org/events. Workshop fee (nonrefundable) includes instruction, supplies and 2 tickets to SoundScape! Music & Art Festival on Saturday, July 12. Participants must bring a refillable water bottle, lunch, a snack, personal sunscreen, and any necessary medications.

Yes Cards are accepted for participating families in Frankfort/Franklin County, KY. If you are unable to register for this workshop due to financial barriers, contact jeri@josephinesculpturepark.org.
