Art City Teacher of the Year: I am honored to announce that Mrs. Jamie Huston was nominated by her peers to represent Art City as our teacher of the year. Next month Mrs. Huston will be honored at board meeting and the Nebo Teacher of the Year will be announced.
Kindness Month: I am so impressed with the activities and and focus on kindness that our PTA has put together for our students. I wholeheartedly believe that problems in our world and society could be solved with kindness, understanding, benefit of the doubt and belief that people have good intentions. I am very grateful to our PTA for working so hard on Kindness Month and reminding everyone that kindness matters! I am really proud of our students and their increased efforts. The kindness chain, Val-O-Grams, food drive and positive words to each other is inspiring. What an amazing group of students we have at Art City!
The food drive was a HUGE success! Thank you parents for supporting our school and student council. The food collected will help many families. A huge thank you to parents who helped out every day.
