Card Fundraiser for "Connecting Hearts"
We looked at stained glass by Tiffany and "The Old King" by Rouault for inspiration designing cards for our fundraiser. Kindergarten drew polar Santa bears and the second grade looked at the history of the poinsettia (Pennsylvania had a little hand in spreading this winter symbol of cheer). Altogether, the cards raised $560 to kick off our program.

3rd grade Character Creations
This is a throw back to 2009. Students designed characters, gave them names, homes, likes and dislikes as well as considered their color scheme as related to the character's emotion.
