The entire student body of Hoosier Road Elementary just culminated a very special collaborative endeavor. Together, students and faculty created and presented a “Living USA”, which was photographed by an arial photographer. The project was led by Renee Ross, HRE music teacher, along with Shannyn Miller (physical education) and Linda Hill (art). Ross, Miller, and Hill worked with students during Literacy Fridays to prepare the program and organize the ‘photo opp’. The student body learned and sang the national anthem and another patriotic song; a fourth grade class presented speaking parts for the program. HRE faculty agrees that “Living USA” has been a great tribute and community-builder at their school! And the picture is gorgeous!

One component of HSE21 is the principle of contributing positively to the community at large. Miss Coffman’s 4th grade class at Sand Creek Elementary recently enjoyed a day of cross-curricular arts study AND worked towards the welfare of endangered species in the process! Ms. Golando, SCE music teacher, led students through the Carnival of the Animals; students then selected their favorite endangered animals based on the music they heard. Afterward, Ms. McDuffee, SCE art instructor, guided students through the creation of clay bowls out of patterned animal shapes. The creations will be raffled off later in the year with funds donated to WWF. Creativity for a cause!
