CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING


Dear Parents, 


Fletcher Parks and Recreation has invited Veritas to sing during the afternoon Christmas Tree Lighting event at Fletcher Park. We have participated in this community event before, and it has always been a wonderful way to represent our school while having fun singing. 


We are not requiring you to participate, knowing that you may already have commitments at this busy time of year. However, we would love to see as many of you attend.


Here are the details: 

Date: Saturday, Dec. 3 

Time: 12:30 - 1:30 

Place: Fletcher Park 



Students will gather with Dr. and Mrs. Woods at 12:30 p.m. to line up and receive songbooks. After singing, they may be picked up by parents in that same area. Our part of the program should be about 20 minutes.


A permission slip is going home today, November 7th, so be on the lookout!

A GLIMPSE INSIDE THE ART ROOM


These 4th Grade Starry Night Pumpkin Patch projects were the perfect fall tie-in to their Van Gogh Artist's Study. We learned about the artist's life and faith as well as his work. We observed some of his most beloved pieces. Students were shocked to learn he only sold one piece in his lifetime! Mimicking VG's short, bold strokes, students created a pumpkin patch with oil pastels, applying lessons on shape and form. They used Starry Night as inspiration for their sky strokes. To complete their masterpieces, they applied watercolor for a wax resist effect.
