Each week, students in Kindergarten through 4th grade present classroom reports as part of our GATHER assembly. These glimpses into the life of each class are presented by a different student each week.

There is an inherent comfort in what we know, but it’s time to break away from our comfort zone. I know of some great artists of color and women artists, but not nearly enough to create a rich multicultural art history curriculum through which our students can all, truly, find a mirror. So here’s an official call for wonderful and interesting artists that you may know through which our students can find a mirror.

2nd-graders recently visited the Children's Creativity Museum in San Francisco for a 2-dimensional felt animation workshop. Students reviewed the “three Ps” of effective storytelling: person, place, and problem. Students then collaborated in small groups with pre-cut felt shapes to create their own videos using the three Ps while receiving an introduction to the basic principles of stop-motion animation: use a stationary camera, make small changes, and take lots of pictures. We hope you enjoy their videos!

There are many ways that families give to PBS, including volunteering through the PBSA and their room parents, as well as by participating in our philanthropic giving programs. Thank you for your generosity and support at all levels. We sometimes hear that families are not fully clear about how their fundraising dollars are used, so I wanted to use this month’s newsletter to explain our plans in detail.
