Art Fair
Held annually in the spring, the school art fair displays hundreds of pieces
of artwork from students in grades pre-kindergarten through grade eight. This
year’s fair will be in the school gym (date TBA). We invite all to attend.
Band
We are planning to continue the Instrumental Music program at school.
Paul Effman Music serves many schools
throughout the area and is prepared to continue the program at school this Fall.
This program will be available to students in grades 3-8.
There will be instrumental music lessons involving the following instruments: Flute, Clarinet,
Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone and Percussion. There will be small group lessons
during school once a week.
Learning to play an instrument is a life long experience. Many studies have shown how students with instrumental
experience do better on SAT scores, have better social skills, continue education through
college, and appreciate diverse perspectives, openness and flexibility in
thinking.
The current cost of the lessons per student is $46 per month October-May. There are discounts for families with
more than one child in the band. Instruments can be rented or purchased through Paul Effman Music. Rental
prices are $99.00 for all instruments (per school year) except Saxophone, which is $139.00 (per school year).

Student Council
The Student Council is a representative
group of children from grade five through
eight, through which they can become
involved in the affairs of the school,
working in partnership with administration,
staff and parents for the benefit of the
school and its students. The
student council helps share students’ ideas, interests, and concerns
with the faculty and staff. They also help
raise funds for school-wide activities,
including social events, community projects
and scholarships for graduating students.
School Store
The school store is a
collaborative effort between the Parents’
Organization and Student Council. The store
provides the opportunity to purchase school
supplies for the students. The store is open
once or twice a month in the lobby. Dates
are published in the school calendar.

Our annual Talent show will be held on Friday, February 3, 2012 at 7 p.m. This is open to any interested
