ART SHOW AND ALL-SCHOOL PICNIC
ART SHOW
The annual EV Art Show showcases the beautifully crafted pieces from all students in grades K-6. Coordinated by EV Art Teachers, Ms. Smith and Mrs. Swisher, families have the opportunity to meander the hallways and see 2-D and 3-D works of art. Student pianists will perform through most of the evening.
NEW THIS YEAR: THE FIRST ANNUAL ALL-SCHOOL PICNIC
Based on parent survey feedback, families seek more opportunities to congregate with the EV community. To celebrate the end of the 2019-2020 school year, families may dine picnic-style from 5:30-7:30 PM. Bring blankets, chairs, food, and have fun with other EV families. In the event of rain, the cafeteria will be open and available for families who wish to eat dinner with us. More information to come!
To assist with this NEW event, contact Ms. Seeley at cseeley@ojrsd.com.
