Congratulations to the two third grade classes for being the first two classes to win their Free Choice Art Day!  On Monday, December 6, kids had their choice of 4 art activities, including lego creations at one of the tables.  They could do all four during their art  time if they chose.   Thank you to Abigail's mom, Mrs. Tobias, for coming in to help with Mrs. Menasha's class and to Hannah's mom, Mrs. Grayman, for coming in to help with Ms. Englard's class.

Grade 1 had so much fun designing their strip sculpture amusement parks.  We had been working with the basic art element, "line".  Today they learned to manipulate the "line" strips.

The theme for the 5th and 6th grade girls was the "Tree of Life".  All unique and special!

Wed. night, Jan. 14th, the RPRY gym was turned into an amazing art gallery of all of our children's art work.  The Annual Student Art Exhibit and PTA Crafts Night was a huge success this year!  We had a large turn-out.  Thank you to all the parents and grandparents for supporting the art program and coming to our art exhibit!  In addition to viewing the creative and beautiful art work all around the gym, kids gathered around three long tables to make and take home the crafts items that the PTA set up.  Thank you to Sandy Dube and Ida Scheiner for putting that together and also for taking care of the refreshments.  The slide show of photos taken by Mrs. Phillips during the year, that was set up in the corner of the gym, was viewed by lots of kids (and grown-ups!) who had fun spotting themselves and their friends making or holding up their art projects in art class.  Thank you to Mrs. Kaufman for taking the time to put the slide show together and set it up for the exhibit.  Mrs. Phillips wants to also thank three parent volunteers:  Elina Zismanova for mounting a class of art work to hang in the exhibit, and Michelle Schanzer and Leslie Ostrin for their helping Mrs. Phillips to hang up the large sheets of mounted art work in the gym that afternoon.  And a big thank you to our custodians, Victor, Miguel, and Herman, who are always ready and willing to help whenever needed...and did!
