Tarvin Times

Trailblazers,

Another great week of learning! Students have been excited to show off their work as they continue to create and collaborate with each other. During special rotations, Art classes are creating kinetic sculptures, integrating science, art, and innovation. Can't wait to see the finished products! We are in need of metal hangers. If you have some you can part with, please bring them to the front office.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable long weekend. Stay safe and healthy. See you on Tuesday.

Together in Learning,

Christy Hilbun
