Mrs. Rose's class was given the opportunity to submit their work to two different art shows. One was hosted through MSU (Metropolitan State University) that wanted to give youth the opportunity to let students express themselves through art. Students were encouraged to submit artwork that answered the prompt about growth or overcoming challenges in the past year. Keep your eyes out for a link in which students can see their work displayed and recognized in a virtual gallery. The students' work was also showcased at the Open School art show and some even won prizes! Congratulations, Addie Hittle, for winning first place for 6th-12 grade! Mrs. Rose hopes that all students will feel encouraged to participate in next year's MSU art invitational coming in the fall. Whether you participated or not, please know that your teacher is so proud of all your hard work and creativity.

Thank you FACE for the grant. Mrs. Rose's Pagosa Family School art class had fun with their grant-funded 'STEAM' project

These boom whackers have brought the joy of music to our Family School Students this year and its a joy to hear them play.

Pagosa Family School P.E. classes are loving these sunny and warm spring days to get outside and have fun in the sun during P.E.

The clay dinosaurs were made after the class used their imaginations to pretend dinos came to live with them. Real dinosaur studies and drawings from models helped the students with their 3D project. The students had fun reenacting cave drawings as they used color pastels and crawled under the table "caves" to draw a story to share with the class.

Lutomski's K-2 art class began using the cameras that were gifted with a grant from Rotary. The students were so excited to begin learning how to use these cameras and they were so careful with the new equipment. Thank you Rotary for enriching out program.

Middle students switched classes today for exploratory and have now begun a unit on loom knitting w Mrs. Wiggers. Cant wait to see some final projects.

A new year's project underway in Rose's art class. Students and staff are thrilled to be back in the classroom-learning and painting together!

Mrs. Thomas and Mr. Dale's music class had a blast using Boomwhackers in class this week. Really, what could be more fun than making music together with 'Boomwhackers'?!

Mrs. Lutomski's art students used skills of watercolor resist and origami to create chameleon "skin" from paper. Their paintings were folded and cut to become 3D sculpture. After watching National Geographic videos about the colorful creatures and their habits, the kids included specific details to their creation. It's fun to see them hiding in plain sight throughout the art room!
