Message from the Principal
Dear Advantage Arts Family,
We made it to December! I hope everyone had a wonderful, safe holiday break. We are already looking at school for next year. So, I am asking for our school community's help. Advantage Arts Academy will be hosting an open house on Wednesday, December 15th from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
At the open house, we will be giving tours and answering questions about the school. This will be an opportunity for interested students and families to receive information about our enrollment lottery that opens on January 3rd.
Here is the fun part! For every family who you refer to the open house, You (as a family) will be entered into a giveaway. The prize for this giveaway has been graciously donated. We will be giving away a new iPad.
We want your neighbors and friends to come see the wonderful things happening here at Advantage Arts. I am new to the school, and I have enjoyed every minute of getting to know the families, students, and staff. This has quickly become a home for me.
Thank you all for the support and help with our school,
Mr. Kano

Center Stage
1st Grade Holiday Traditions
In first grade we talked about our favorite holiday traditions. Students shared how they loved to decorate Christmas trees, play board games, write letters to Santa, wear festive pajamas, and much more. We talked about how we all can celebrate holidays differently and that's awesome. Each student then drew a picture of a favorite holiday tradition and added it to a paper ornament that they decorated. We hung them on the tree in the Art Nook and they look fabulous!
2nd Grade Helping Hands
In second grade we have been learning about how we can be a helping hand in our classroom. We worked together to make a class mural with each student's hand outlined and decorated with patterns. We wrote one or two ways we could be a helping hand in the classroom on the hands as a reminder to always help in the class.
