Celebration of Learning

Ah, the time of year when my son's elementary school goes All Out on Celebrating Learning. The halls are decorated with artwork and projects, one library is filled with a Scholastic Book Fair, the other library has an Author's Mic, walkways outside display note cards handmade by students and for sale by the PTSA, the gym has an ice cream social, the band is performing on this platform, the choir performs at the benches, the kindergarten class performs their songs on the big grassy hill, the stage has a Silent Auction of classroom projects, and classrooms are opened for viewing with piles and piles and piles of student work on display.

It is the "finale" of the school year - never mind the fact that we still have State Testing next week, and another month and a half of learning.  It is a true Celebration! And tonight was the night. I always love this time of year for this Celebration. It is a fun family night for all 1,000 students who attend the Elementary School.

Tina - parent volunteers do all the Art Docent programs and special projects like the Quilt. It is pretty amazing.
