This video highlights work from students in every building throughout the district and from all grade levels. I love to see how much our students achieve and progress in their creative journeys up through the grade levels!

There's no doubt 'Specials' will be different this year, but we will still be here ready to Lead, LOVE, and Learn right along with you. Can't wait to see you Tuesday, Scouts!

Good Afternoon ART at Indian Trails Family! I hope you have been having an awesome summer! I am SO excited to start the year with you all very soon, no matter what that may look like. I will be here for YOU!

WIth that being said I wanted to give you a quick update. While special class teachers will still see ALL in-person kiddos at IT; we will only be teaching First Grade virtual students. The good news is that if you are a virtual student who is not a First Grader, you will be having virtual Art , Music, and PE with one of our AMAZING colleagues from one of the other elementary buildings!

To make sure all of our virtual and in-person students have an opportunity to still feel connected and included, I am planning some special things for you here on Facebook that anyone can join in on, like live video sessions or collaborative group projects, so make sure you have liked and are following the page!

Artfully Yours,
Ms. Benson

Have you built a fort during your time at home, yet?? The building center in the Art Studio is always a top favorite among students, so I know you have some well equipped architect helpers! Check out these fun forts from IKEA for inspiration!

Whether you're quarantining with kids who are becoming increasingly bored, IKEA Russia has your back. The retailer has just released a new campaign, bringing back the childhood adventures indoors.
