There’s a groundedness that begins to take root in 3rd Grade.

You can see it in the way they settle into their work—steady, focused, fully present. Each child finding their rhythm, learning to carry a task from beginning to end with care and responsibility.

These are the moments where confidence quietly grows.

The finished piece will be shared at the Spring Benefit Live Auction on May 2. We hope you’ll join us to experience it in person and celebrate the work of these students.

And if you can’t be there, you can still take part through the online auction from home.

This is the village, holding them as they grow.

There’s something powerful about working together toward a shared goal.

In 4th Grade, you can see collaboration in action—hands reaching in, ideas overlapping, patience growing as each piece finds its place. It’s a process that asks them to listen, adjust, and stay with the work as a group.

What’s being created here is more than the final piece. It’s the experience of building something together.

You’ll be able to see it at the Spring Benefit Live Auction on May 2. We hope you’ll join us to experience it in person and celebrate the work of these students.

And if you can’t be there, you can still take part through the online auction from home.

This is the village, woven together.

There’s a deepening that happens around this age.

In 6th Grade, you begin to see focus take on a different quality—more independent, more deliberate. Hands move with intention, ideas take shape with care, and each student brings their own quiet determination to the work.

It’s thoughtful. It’s steady. And it’s entirely their own.

The final piece will be shared at the Spring Benefit Live Auction on May 2. We hope you’ll join us to experience it in person and celebrate what these students have created.

And if you can’t be there, you can still take part through the online auction from home.

This is the village, growing alongside them.

There’s a spark that lives in first grade.

Small hands learning new skills, eyes focused, moments of discovery happening right at the table. What begins as something simple quickly becomes something meaningful, shaped by curiosity, effort, and a growing sense of confidence.

You can feel the pride in these early creations.

This is how the village begins.

There’s a quiet focus that lives in this kind of work.

In 2nd Grade, hands are busy weaving, tying, and shaping—learning through doing, through patience, through rhythm. It’s not just about the finished piece, but about the process: staying with something, working through challenges, and creating with intention.

You can already feel the care woven into every strand.

The final project will be shared at the Spring Benefit Live Auction on May 2. We hope you’ll be there to see it in person and celebrate what these students have created.

There’s a kind of quiet wonder in these early years.

In the Dandelion Class, the work begins simply—color meeting water, brush meeting paper—and something beautiful starts to unfold. No rush, no pressure. Just presence, care, and the joy of creating.

These moments may seem small, but they are the roots of something much deeper: confidence, imagination, and a lifelong relationship with learning.

You’ll be able to see the finished piece at the Spring Benefit Live Auction on May 2. We hope you’ll join us to experience it in person.

And if you can’t be there, you can still take part through the online auction from home.

It takes a village to nurture something like this.

There’s something special about watching a project come to life piece by piece.

Our 5th Grade class has been working with care and intention, building something both precise and expressive for the Spring Benefit. You can see the collaboration in every line, every color choice, every moment gathered around the table.

These are the kinds of experiences that stay with them—where math, art, and teamwork quietly weave together into something meaningful.

You’ll be able to see the final piece at the Live Auction on May 2. We hope you’ll be there to experience it in person and celebrate the work of these students.

It takes a village, and this is what it looks
