WINTER CLASS PARTY We will be having a grades 3-6 class party on Monday, December 17, from 11:00-1:00, in place of regular Face-to-Face class and PE. The first hour of the party will be in the classroom, and the second will be in the gym. Kinder-2nd grade students registered with HOA are invited to attend the second hour, 12:00-1:00, for gym activities.
ART CLUB We are in the beginning stages of planning for an Art Club that will start second semester for grades 3-6, meeting on Tuesdays from 9:30-11:00. This art club will have a watercolor focus, with special guests coming in a few times to share different mediums. Our new Art Club instructor is Jullane Rich and she is with Influence Music Hall in Downtown Hillsboro. She has taught art classes and children's groups in our area for many years. Due to the preference of our instructor and our space constraints, we will be holding two sessions and limiting the number of students in each session to 15. I am taking rsvp's now for both groups. The tentative dates for Group 1 are February 5, 12, 19, 26, and March 5, 12. Group 2 will meet April 30, May 7, 14, 21, 28, and June 4. When rsvp'ing, please indicate which group is your first choice.
SAVE THE DATE Our Oregon Food Bank field trip will be on Tuesday, February 19, from 9:00-11:30. All students who volunteer must have a photo release on file. If this will be your student's first time attending, you will need to fill one out (you can choose to opt in or out). We have copies here on campus, or you can download a PDF from OFB's website, or my Weebly website, mrskellar.weebly.com in the FORMS tab.
