Art Show at Peets

On March 7, our young 2nd and 3rd grade artists got a chance to have their art featured at Peets on Laurel Street. It was a wonderful and fun evening for our school community to gather while taking in the art work from our students. The artists loved seeing their art work on display and LOVED their complimentary hot cocoa!

A huge thank you to the Laurel Street Peet’s for hosting us!

Winter Art Show at Peet’s

Do you need a refuge from all this rain?!

Well, go to Peet’s in San Carlos!

We are excited to announce that Peet’s on Laurel Street in San Carlos has a new Art in Action show: You’ll find 1st grade’s “Winter Landscape” paintings inspired by Pieter Bruegel, and 4th grade’s “Swans reflecting Elephants” artwork inspired by Salvador Dali.

Please come and check out our students’ beautiful art on Peet’s walls, while sipping something festive, like a Cinnamon Hazelnut Latte, for instance!

Thank you, Peet’s, for supporting Clifford School — and showcasing our students’ masterpieces.

(Scroll down for a sneak peek!)

See you there.

Editor’s note: Massive thanks to Kay Rim and another Clifford parent volunteer who kindly made this Art Show happen; they removed the previous artwork and hung the new artwork on  various wall spaces available at Peet’s– no small job. Heartfelt thanks from the Clifford community!

Winter Family Night: Fun Times!

What do you do on a damp, dark, and wintery Thursday night?

Well, you could go watch Elementary School and Middle School students perform, soak up an art exhibit, schmear cookies with mounds of frosting, and strike a pose at a photo booth, for instance.

Actually, hordes of Clifford School families did all those things (and more!) on Thursday, December 4, 2014, during the Winter Family Night.

Festive Choirs and an Instrumental Trio
The sweet sounds of 2nd and 3rd Grade students’ voices filled the MUB with their performance of songs including The Sound of Music’s My Favorite Things, Mele Kalikimaka (Hawaiian song about Christmas), and Frosty the Snowman.

Three 8th Graders––two trombone players and a flutist–took the stage and entertained us with instrumental versions of My Favorite Things, Do Re Mi, and Parade of the Wooden Soldier. These musicians wrapped up the night’s live performances.

Art in Action Show
The MUB’s walls––and free-standing display boards–were all decked out with beautiful artwork created by Kindergarten through 5th Grade students.

After we feasted our eyes on the landscape paintings, still life perspectives, self-portraits, and starry night scenes, for example, even more Art in Action masterpieces were on show in the Library! What a treat.

Sugar Station
Kids and parents alike decorated cookies with creamy frosting and sprinkles. And if that weren’t enough for your sugar fix, piping hot chocolate was also up for grabs to warm your hands (and heart)!

Photo Booth & Bead Corner
Instant prints were available at the photo booth. The backdrop: a larger-than-life snowman. And if jewelry-making tickled your fancy, the beading benches offered plenty of supplies to complete a wearable piece!

Raffle Excitement
All week long, raffle items were on display in the Library––and tickets were available to buy. Hot commodities included an Xbox, “Principal for a Day,” margarita fixings, teacher babysitting, and a garden basket (made out of a hose!).

What a delightful community event for Clifford families (with a fundraising component!).

Massive thanks to all the parents, teachers, and students who volunteered their time before, during, and after the event. Special thanks to the organizers who made the Winter Family Night happen.
