Special Art Recognition
Original Works Art Fundraiser
Original Works
We are excited to announce that we will be partnering with Original Works for a Spring fundraiser! We will be running the Original Works program until, Wednesday, March 20th.
Through the Original Works program, students will create an original artwork piece that can then be reproduced onto a variety of high-quality products. The products range from magnets to mugs and nearly two dozen other products.
Each child is eligible to participate in this wonderful program. Once the artwork is created, parents and children will have the opportunity to select which product or products they would like to feature their artwork. The program is designed to encourage creativity and student self-esteem. The resulting products make unique gifts that are practical for any season or occasion.
Complete details on the program will be sent home shortly. Proceeds from the program will be used in the art room to buy art supplies such as sharpies, Prismacolor pencils, acrylic paint, yarn, markers, dry erase markers, metallic/glitter crayons, and much more! For more information on Original Works please visit their website at www.originalworks.com
Thank you for supporting this unique and creative program!
Writing Gallery
Last week, the 4th-grade students were asked to write an expository piece of writing for our Benchmark test. The students were directed to THINK ABOUT all of the hard work that they do- whether at home, at school, or outside. Then they were asked to WRITE ABOUT one type of hard work that they do. The students had to explain the work they chose and explain WHY it is so hard to do...
While there were many cleverly written papers, these authors' pieces were chosen for the Writing Gallery: Reice Kargel, Adrienne McKinney, Daughtry Etheridge, Raphaella Attobrah, Kaylin Kirkhart, Torie Babauta, and Jenal Bongco.
When you come to Robison, the Gallery is in the front hall...We look forward to seeing you!
