Dear Hiawatha Community,

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Ruby Bridges Walk to School day! The kids, staff and community were amazing. What we accomplished together to make a difference for each other and our community was beautiful. Please check out this video from the event!

We will hang their storyboard (posters) in our gym. And check us out: we made the news!

Dear Kindergarten Families,

In preparation of the winter weather season, once we return from our Fall break, ALL Kindergarteners are to enter the school at the double doors by the gym lobby when they arrive every morning until further notice.

Students in kindergarten just finished their starlight pumpkin project. Check out these beautiful masterpieces in our Hiawatha hallways.

First-grade art activists painted kindness rocks for our community. Each student carefully planned an image and words to share an important message. Then students use acrylic paint and paint markers to paint their rocks. They did a fabulous job.

Second-grade artists were the first to earn an art celebration for filling up their pom-pom containers! Each class had art choice time, which included painting, collating, drawing, or watching fun art YouTube videos!

Third-grade artists are beginning a printmaking project. After learning about Ruby Bridges and the changes that activists make, students sketched out three ideas for their prints. I saw themes about stopping animal cruelty, saving the environment, equality for all, and many more. Some students have already carved their styrofoam, and the next step is to start making a print edition!
