Coleman Elementary
Ms. Devine, art teacher at Coleman Elementary, taught students all about Pop art. What is Pop art? Pop art is one of the largest art movements that was brought to life in the mid 1950’s – 1960’s. It is when an artist creates work that is inspired by realities of real life. Such artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Richard Hamilton would use saturated colors and bold outlines to create vivid artwork. Their work was a vivid representation of everyday people and objects. Pop art is meant to grab your attention. Ms. Devine has done just that with using a photo of students. Each student’s photo was taken and printed in black and white. Students then took bright bold crayons and colored their portrait. The pop art makes a phenomenal display in the cafeteria.

Zitzman Elementary
Girls on the Run is an organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Zitzman's own Girls on the Run is sponsored by coaches with a team made up of 3rd and 4th grade girls. Throughout the season, the girls met twice a week focusing on building physical, mental, and emotional strength. The girls began their season in September and finished their season with a virtual 5K race on the Pacific Intermediate track in November. Families lined up along the track to cheer the girls on during their race. (Image was taken at the 2019 5K Girls on the Run St. Louis.)
Pacific Intermediate
Secret Surprise Make-A-Wish Fundraiser
Two Odyssey (gifted) students initiated a research project on Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPG) cancer as their Genius Hour research project. Why did they choose to research DIPG? Their Odyssey teacher, Mrs. Bristow, has a granddaughter battling DIPG.
Their culminating activity was to speak to their principals to approve a Make-A-Wish fundraiser by hosting a school-wide Hat Day for all the 5th and 6th graders. The two students had to prepare a speech and secretly spoke to all of the classes about their project. The girls surprised Mrs. Bristow with a $160 donation in honor of Claire and her journey.
Riverbend Middle School
The real fun began when students started mixing elements together, making compounds and new substances. They observed things explode, learned how different liquids separate, created new substances, and learned that sometimes too much heat causes explosions.
