District Artist of the Month: Braddek Fong, Stony Creek
Congratulations to second grader, Braddek Fong, our District Artist of the Month. Braddek completed a low relief Egyptian mask using glue, string, foil, and markers. The portrait projects slightly from the background, creating a sculptural effect. Second grade classes explored ancient Egyptian art and culture, which provided inspiration! Braddek was congratulated by Stony Creek Principal Mrs. Washam and Art Teacher Mrs. Coyle.

Shady Grove's Golden Spatula
Shady Grove’s Golden Spatula is a new, fun competition to promote positive behavior in the cafeteria. It is awarded every 12 days to one classroom in each grade level. Each day the cafeteria table that best exhibits respect, responsibility, and safety in the classroom wins a Golden Spatula. After 12 days, the class who has accumulated the most Golden Spatulas wins! The winning class earns a special lunch bunch with Mrs. Sibley and they can display their winning poster and trophy outside of their classroom.
