Extra Yarn-Tree Sweaters
Your PTO has teamed up with our very own school librarian Mrs. Groesbeck to bring our first ever fiber art installation to campus. We were inspired by the the Caldecott winning children’s book, “Extra Yarn” by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen. In this charming tale, a girl is gifted a “magic box” of yarn that she uses to transform her community through kindness. The more she gives, the more she has to share, bringing color and whimsey to her whole town.
If you would like to see more acts of kindness, you are welcome to participate by donating any “extra yarn” you may have stashed away to the Basket in the Library (available Monday Morning). We will be setting up a new spot in the Maker Space for yarn and access to iPads linked to Hand Knitting tutorials like this one: https://youtu.be/_rjrRZmrsRg?si=tRjbiq2BBtWNWu8j. Feel free to practice at home! We hope to inspire students to experience: sensory texture, color relationships, form, and whimsey as well as empower them to create Acts of Service by making items for others with these new skills.
Running Club on Fridays!
On your mark, get set, and GO! Running Club is here! Please sign your child(ren) up at the link below prior to the next Running Club Friday to participate. We are also looking for parent volunteers and 4th/5th grade Student Leader volunteers. We look forward to seeing all our labradors each Friday!
