Mosaic Project - Beginning on May 6th, we will be starting another school-wide collaborative art project. We are planning to pull students during Art and PE Class to help mosaic the garden beds out front. We will only be using Tallavera Tile, so it should be pretty simple! I will send a schedule out when we get closer, in case any teachers want to come and help us! All families are invited to send in a favorite tile, coin, trinket, etc. to be integrated into our Mosaic - so if you receive anything, let us know!
