Dear Elementary Parents, Just a reminder, if you haven't already seen this.....As our Elementary class sizes have grown, it has become increasingly more difficult to house all of our Elementary student's families at our school concerts let alone have ample safe parking in our lot. That being said, we are going to change things up this year, at the elementary Christmas concert in an attempt to help ease the crowd numbers in the auditorium and the school parking lot. This year on Monday, December 9th, Kindergarten through 2nd graders will have their concert at 1:30. Then the 3rd - 5th graders will have their concert at 2:30. Each concert will last about 20-30 minutes. Parents that want to leave after the first concert will have time to do so, while also freeing up parking spots for the next concert. Those parents that want or need to stay for both concerts are of course welcome to do so. Both concerts will be recorded and live streamed into the classrooms so students are able to watch the concert when they are not performing. As always, parents are invited to take their children home after the concert. You will need to pick up your child or children in their classrooms.

It's time to get into the Christmas Spirit! Check out our upcoming concerts in December!

Tuesday afternoon, students in grades 1st-3rd listened and learned from local artist, Mr. Karl Williams. He shared his oil paintings with us, talking about the process and time that goes into each piece. Mr. Williams even brought students up on stage to practice their observational drawing skills, giving tips to students along the way. He left us with a couple tips to help us in our own art journey: 1. Make art for yourself, not to please other people. 2. Draw every day. You can’t get better if you don’t practice. 3. Think of mistakes as a way to make your artwork uniquely yours Thank you Mr. Williams for sharing your time and talent with us! #PotosiPride

They shared about our district's journey in learning about neurodiversity, and application of strategies to support student successes, particularly as it relates to building life-ready skills. They even got to meet Kate Swenson, one of the keynote speakers, who is known for sharing her own journey of raising her son who has been diagnosed with Autism.
