ARTIST SPOTLIGHT!

Our next round of artwork comes from our newest artists, Kindergarten. They have been learning about line directions and different color families. This project focused on the Primary Colors. Inspired by the artwork of Piet Mondrian, they picked squares and rectangles and glued them down going horizontally and vertically. They then added bold black lines like Mondrian by stamping paint with cardboard. Some students thought it looked like we were building a fence around a pasture so we used our imagination to fence in our pastures on the farm to get the project done.

Be sure to check out the display the next time you visit our building and keep your eyes open for more featured artists.

Our Cross Country teams competed at Wellington this past weekend, and this was one tough course! With steep hills, rough terrain, and wet conditions from the rain, our Trojans were truly tested.

Despite the difficult conditions, our Trojans had some fantastic performances!

⭐ High School
• Anneliese Barajas Larios — 4th Place
• Izaak Ross — 8th Place

⭐ Junior High
• Arturo Larios Chavez — 6th Place
• Christopher Seaman — 7th Place
• Nyla Codeluppi — 8th Place

We are so proud of the way our runners battled through the hills, mud, rain, and rough terrain. That’s cross country! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
