Principal's Notes

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and that you are all looking forward to the Thanksgiving break. During our Tuesdays Together this past week we focused on gratitude. Students were encouraged to make an effort to express their gratitude. It is my hope that this message made each student think about all that they have to be grateful for and to seek ways to make their gratitude known.

Thank you to each family for choosing SBS, and being part of our community. I sincerely hope that everyone has good fellowship and great food for Thanksgiving. Safe travels to all that are traveling for the holiday.

All my best,

Matthew Collins

Principal

Teacher Spotlight - Mrs. Gibbons - Art Class

The students in Mrs. Gibbons’ art classes have been learning about color theory and students have been experimenting with color mixing. They have been discussing the primary colors: red, yellow, and blue and learning how to make secondary colors by mixing two primary colors, and tertiary colors by mixing three colors together. Another step in color mixing is adding white to lighten or “tint” a color and adding black to darken or “shade” a color. Finally, after creating several unique colors, students brainstormed names for their new colors. Students came up with creative names for their colors such as galaxy, sunset, and pretzel.

Mrs. Gibbons teaches color theory to help students develop their attention to color. Understanding how colors work together and how hues and shades are formed can help with basic art theory for students. Color theory can aid in understanding what colors of paint to mix together to get the tint the student wants for their picture, helping them construct rich works of art.

Mrs. Gibbons’ favorites: restaurant: Luciano’s; vacation: Newport, RI; fruit: watermelon; scent: the beach; pie: pecan; sports team: Bruins; animal: dog; Mrs. Gibbons has a German Shepherd Fioki; and a Giant Schnauzer named Maeve and Ragdoll kitten named Cadbury
