Having A Blast In Elementary Art

Even though our school year is coming to close, very exciting things are still happening in art! There will be beautiful artwork on display from every Kindergarten student on the same day as their 'Patriotic' play. This will take place on Friday, May 13th in the Kindergarten hallway. On the last day of school, June 2, while the 4th and 5th graders are involved with their 'Under the Sea' presentation, we will also be displaying their art work! Please stop by and treat yourself to all these beautiful works of art before you start your summer vacation!

What's New in the Library

Wacky Wednesday was a huge success! Almost everyone was dressed in the wackiest attire. A fun day was had by all!

The annual Sonshine BookFair was a sensation thanks to all of you fabulous shoppers! With the profits, we were able to purchase wonderful new books for the Library that will be available for checkout in a few weeks.

In celebration of National Library Month in April, the students were able to enter a bookmark contest. The winner from each group will have their bookmark professionally printed and several will be available in the Library. Look for the winners who designed bookmarks...their names will be posted in the Library at the end of the month.

The Children's Crown Award contest is coming to the end on Friday, April 15. Eligible students will be voting on their favorite book next week at a voting party. The winning titles will be announced the end of May.

The Elementary Library...it's the place to be!!!

CCA 5th Graders Visit JA BizTown

Imagine a city where young consumers rush to the bank to deposit their paychecks, sales clerks create merchandise displays and reporters interview local business leaders to get the most up-to-date story. Across the way the restaurant prepares for the lunch hour and the mayor meets with business managers to get an understanding of current economic trends. This could be any city in the country, but it is this image that perfectly describes a day at JA BizTown

Our 5th grade team brought over 100 students and 40 parent volunteers to BizTown for the day. Twenty lessons were taught in school for a month leading up to our visit. The students had the opportunity to learn about the economy in a fun, hands-on, and interactive way.
