7/8 Arts Education

This year our Gr. 7/8 classes will have the opportunity to build, paint, and learn to play northern spirit flutes.  Through this project, our students will gain a greater awareness and understanding of indigenous art and culture.   They are really excited about this project and anxious to get started!  Please go to school cash on-line to purchase an unassembled flute for your child by this Wednesday, February 28.  I will send out the order once all payments are complete.  The cost per flute is $15.50. 

On another note, we are excited to host Beau Dixon this coming Thursday at 9 AM In the gym.  Beau is an award-winning playwright, actor, and musician from Ontario.  He will present his play, “Beneath Springhill:  The Maurice Ruddick Story” before leading a workshop with some of our students.  I would like to thank the Canadian Playwright’s Guild for giving us a grant for event!  Families are welcome to attend. 

Thanks,

Mrs. Reschny
