Looking for 2014-2015 PTA Board Members

Hello PTA members! 

As many of you know, all the awesome things our kids get to do is because of you volunteering and supporting the kids and teachers and also because the PTA board members come up with and organize these events. 

We have several board members whose 2 year terms are up so we have positions to be filled. Please come in, call, or email if you have questions about the positions and what is involved in being on the board. 

The positions available are as follows:

• President
• Treasurer
• Secretary
• Membership
• Parent Involvement

For descriptions, please visit Audra in the library or you can grab a copy from the office. Please sign on to next year's PTA Board, the more board members to share the responsibilities, the more fun it is!!

Art in the Classroom 2nd Quarter - Jewelry Making

For our 2^nd Quarter “Art in the Classroom”, we were lucky enough to have Merylyn Whited from Timberline Gallery volunteer to teach our students jewelry making.  She focused on creating components of jewelry that they can replicate at home to create jewelry and other fun items.  

Our 3^rd through 8^th grade students worked with creating paper beads and stringing them on copper wire.  Creations ranged from simple bracelets, to earrings and little “people”.  K-2^nd grade worked with beads and noodles to make a necklace.  A big thank you to Mrs. Whited, along with Janet Morita (President of Timberline Gallery,) for donating their time and talent to our school.

To learn more about the gallery, visit their website:

If you have a child interested in art, they can apply for sponsorship to participate in Sierra Art Trails held October 2014.  This is a great opportunity for your budding artist to explore different mediums and start building their portfolio.  http://www.sierraarttrails.org/sponsorship/student_sponsorship.html
