Dance_artStudents, are you ready to hit the dance floor after the final school bell?!

Spots are available in both classes–and if your student is starting late, the fee is pro-rated.

The dance program’s teacher is Danny G, a wonderful choreographer, well-known in the community for his work with Adelante, John Gill, Roosevelt, Hawes, along with other schools in the Bay Area. Danny has also choreographed many San Carlos Children’s Theater productions––and he has taught at SCCT camps.

And lastly, a nod to Mary Poppins: See these super dancers perform the Penguin Dance  — and then they dance to “Party Rock” by LMFAO. This group of students won 1st Place in the downtown parade, too!

After-School: Awesome Winter Creations

Before the holidays, during the Winter Holiday Gift-Making  enrichment program, 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders worked on really fun — and festive — projects: They decorated glass and wooden ornaments, and painted a penguin on canvas!

These classes are fun and children create unique gifts for their family members. The children are proud of their art projects!

IMG_4319This spring, the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day Gift-Making classes are coming up. Please check the bulletin board outside of the school office for updates, along with the class information flyers, which will be included in the children’s folders sometime in April.
