Sylvan Park's Museum of Dreams: Paideia Showcase, March 24

Our Sylvan Park Panthers are gearing up for our school-wide Paideia Showcase on March 11th.  Our text for this project is Happy Dreamer by Peter Reynolds.  Each grade level is dreaming up and creating an exhibit based on grade level standards for our Sylvan Park Museum of Dreams.  Students will tour our museum on Friday, March 11th and parents will have the opportunity to tour on March 24th during International Night (a sign up for tours is included in the International Night flyer).  Ask your child about this exciting and engaging project-based learning experience!

Art Volunteers Needed

We are looking for several volunteers to help put together some student art projects for a silent auction. No major art skills are needed, just a willingness to help and a little creativity and / or organizational skills. Also, volunteering is always more fun with a friend! So consider finding a friend to help out - half the work, double the fun! Please reach out to Sarah Grace for more information.
