Come join the Summer Sketchbook Club! This summer, keep your creativity going as kids from ages 6-16 can join the Demuth Museum of Art club to fill up a sketchbook to earn a creative prize bag! Sketchbooks will be available for pick up throughout the summer at the front desk of the museum during operating hours.

Sketchbooks can then be brought back to the museum on August 29th from 6 PM - 10 PM during our Museum Movie Night! Show them your completed sketchbook and receive your prize bag, including free ice cream from Greco's Italian Ices and Homemade Ice Cream for the free movie starting at 8 PM in Musser Park.

Stumped on what to draw? Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to watch out for sketchbook prompts and attend our free summer storytimes at the Demuth Museum of Art every first and fourth Tuesday June - August!

And just like that… another incredible school year comes to a close!

This year was filled with so much growth, laughter, learning, friendship, and unforgettable memories. From exciting field trips and classroom celebrations to the bonds built between students, staff, and families, it has truly been a year to remember. Watching our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally has been the greatest joy of all. 💙💛

Thank you to our amazing students, dedicated staff, and supportive families for making this school year so special. We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled summer break, you’ve earned it! CLASS DISMISSED!☀️

Yesterday was a day full of celebration at Wharton!

The afternoon began with our kindergarten promotion ceremony as we celebrated our youngest students moving on to 1st grade! Families enjoyed an adorable alphabet poem, fun songs, and the presentation of kindergarten completion certificates as our students proudly shook hands with their teachers and Dr. Welters!

Later in the evening, we celebrated our 5th graders as they closed the chapter on their elementary school years and prepared for their next adventure in middle school. It was a memorable night filled with smiles, laughter, and pride as students received their completion certificates surrounded by family, friends, and staff.

A special thank you to Mr. Jose Iguina, Assistant Principal at Reynolds Middle School, for speaking with our students and families about embracing new beginnings, building connections, and looking forward to the exciting opportunities ahead. We are so proud of all our students and cannot wait to see the amazing things they accomplish in the next phase of their educational journeys! Congratulations to our Kindergarten Graduating Class and our 5th Grade Graduating Class!
