Habitat Yoga Classes

At-Home Yoga & Craft Kits - Since students will be at home and parents might need extended working hours, Habitat Yoga created 2 different series to keep kids occupied, having fun, and learning -- 1) Yoga + My 5 Senses for PreK-3rd Grade and 2) Yoga + the Galaxy for Kind-4th Grade.

Each series comes with 5 recorded yoga classes that each student can do at home (via Youtube) and 5 craft projects with a video of a teacher leading them through the instructions. The craft kit includes everything the student will need for all of these activities (except for a few basics, like scissors and coloring utensils). All of these yoga + craft classes can be done on their own time and at their own pace, whenever families need a more structured entertaining activity!
These kits are priced at $150 per student, which includes all supplies and 10 activities (45 mins each)

Sign Vandalism--PTO Needs Your Help!

Our school sign has been vandalized multiple times over the past few months. Ms. Goetz has asked for our help so that she can continue to put messages to our community on the sign. PTO received several quotes for locking Vandal Covers but they are cost-prohibitive at this time. If anyone in our community has connections to a commercial sign company or experience with security camera options and installation, please contact the PTO at PTO.spark@gmail.com
