ART DOCENTS NEEDED ASAP
|
|
Art Docents Needed for Mrs. Fisher's Class 
Mrs. Fisher's two Art Docents had to opt out, so now she has none. Please consider stepping up to do this. Sadly, if her class does not have any Art Docents, they may not have artwork to display during the Art Showcase/Ice Cream Social/Book Sale that takes place in May.
Please don't let this happen to her class...sign up!
Worried it takes too much time? Not at all!
It's a once-a-month lesson, and you coordinate with the teacher regarding the date/time--so it's a flexible and fun volunteer opportunity for both stay-at-home and working parents alike. It takes about an hour to do the class, plus set-up and clean-up time. When you see how much the kids get out of it, you will see why it's one of Rockwell's most enduring and popular programs.
"I know nothing about art." - Does not matter!
You don't need to be an art expert whatsoever--the curriculum is already set out for you. You don't need to be a Picasso--very little, if any, artistic talent is needed. All you really need is some time, some patience, and a good sense of humor and fun :)
Art Docent lessons began in October and run through May/June. The highlight is the annual Art Showcase in May, when the walls of Rockwell are covered by the students' amazing masterpieces.
Please contact
Mrs. Fisher, or me directly, if you are interested or have questions.
Join the Art Docent team...you won't regret it! :)

ATTENTION 5TH GRADE PARENTS - MIDDLE SCHOOL INFO NIGHTS ARE COMING SOON
|
|
Parents of 5th grade students: Middle School Information nights
 are coming up, both at Redmond Middle School (
Jan. 26 at 7pm) and at the district's variety of
Choice Schools.
LWSD Choice schools are open to all students in the district. All of the district's choice schools offer rigorous academic programs and unique opportunities for student learning. Students must apply to be considered for enrollment in the school. Each choice school uses the district's common application. These schools are small by design so there are enrollment limits. A lottery and waitlist system is used to place students when applications exceed vacancies. As part of the application and lottery process,
attendance at the choice school's information night is highly recommended. Applications will be available on the district and choice school websites.
Link to brochure
on Choice Schools with descriptions of schools, DATES for all the info nights, and registration info. Most are in January, but EAS (Environmental and Adventure School) is coming up on 12/15.
