Art agenda for the week of 9/6-9/9

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend. I had a terrific time with family and friends. It is always nice to hve a few days to renew, especially after the beginning of a new school year. Holy Spirit teachers spent Friday learning lots of new information that will help us be more aware of our student's needs. Our guest speaker, Ann Anzalone, was a great speaker and full of information which she presented in an energizing way! I can't wait to use some of the new techniques!

As always, please read the blog areas that pertain to your child/children.

Have a great week!
