Students in Art Expressions looked at SOME of the art of Leonardo Divinci. The skill that the students were learning this week fell under the curriculum track of Creativity which has four areas: Fluency, Flexibility, Originality and Elaboration. On this particular activity the students were working on ELABORATION. Students changed and added to Divinci's famous painting, Mona Lisa. They were quite creative as the presented their art work. Some turned MONA LISA into a puppet; others, a beauty queen; still others, had her as a Sumo Wrestler or sportsman. Thanks to A4MA for inspiring the ART in us!!!

Black History Program

Black History Program with the Fourth graders and many other students took place on February 28 at 6:00 p.m. The honored guest was Honorable Judge Winston Kidd who delivered a very motivating speech. Dr. Wanda Bowen encouraged parents to continue to support their children by making sure that students were in school, that they did their homework at night, and that they make sure that students do homework and study as the District Tests approach and the rigorous preparation for MCT2 approaches. Kindergarten students presented two songs and other students presented a variety of entertainment for the audience emphasizing the leaders from the past, present, and the future. It was a night enjoyed by all!

Judge Kidd motivates the audience with powerful words of wisdom. One main thought....."What would our forefathers really think about all that is going on with our young children today? Would they be happy with what is happening?" (Thoughts interpreted by Mrs. Land)
