Help! Carnival Basket Items Needed

The EP carnival is set for Friday, June 6th. One of the annual traditions is to have each class make a gift basket for the raffle. This year we have been assigned to the Pets basket. Leashes, treats, toys, etc. are all great ideas to donate. Please help us by generously contributing to our class project. All items for the carnival basket are due by May 30th.

Thank you for your support!

Arts Corps

Greetings!

As you may already know, Arts Corps participated in the planning and implementation of Seeds of Compassion youth events that culminated in April. Many of the students we work with contributed artwork, explored the themes of compassion and empathy, and attended Children's Day, and I know many of yours did as well.

Arts Corps is a youth empowerment program, offering free arts education classes to kids in grades K-12. Experienced teaching artists create rich learning environments in education facilities all over King County, fostering our greatest resource: young people. For a list of the current classes we offer, please visit our website at www.artscorps.org.

Social Studies Country Reports

Our country reports are in full swing and our goal is to complete three feature articles by the week's end along with drawing an artistic cover. Students may bring work home this week regarding the project that could include prewriting or cover design. Deadlines for this major project are made weekly and we are looking to finish after Memorial Day. Thank you for your continued support at home.
