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.

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! 🏃♀️🏃♂️

Miss McCormack's 1st graders listened to the book, A Hero like You, prior to Patriot Day. They learned that heroes don't always have to be policemen, firemen, or teachers! Each student drew a picture and wrote about their hero, and then on September 11th they shared about their hero with their classmates. We found out that all HEROES HAVE HEART! ❤️Some heroes were even found within our South Central Elementary School.
We hope to see you at our 11th Annual Parade of Bands this Saturday. An evening filled with awesome musical performances by amazing, hard working, dedicated students from around the area.
