Yearbook Artwork Contest!

Hi Friends!

We just wanted to remind students to submit any artwork you want to include in the yearbook by this Friday!

How to enter the contest:

Any student who is interested can submit a drawing

The drawing can be about our school, our city, nature, friends…anything you like!

                                                                  

Use an 8-1/2 x11 sheet of paper for the drawing.

Write the student’s name, room # and teacher’s name on the back of the drawing, in pencil.

Turn in the drawing to your teacher by November 22, 2013

Winning entries will be selected by the yearbook committee and scanned to produce digital files to be included in this year's yearbook...Who knows your artwork might even make it on to the yearbook cover!

Name Our Garden Contest...

Hi Friends!

As many of you many have already seen our edible garden has had new planting recently and we are reminded that at this time of new beginnings we REALLY need to name this wonderful gem of a space!  We have asked parents already involved with the garden for ideas, but we haven't come up with anything that really resonates just yet, so we thought we would reach out to our students to see what they come up with...after all this is their garden!

That said we will be hosting a naming contest over the next two weeks...students are encouraged to take a minute and think about what they would like to call the garden.  Imagine the name on a poster or maybe even a t-shirt....and if students get stuck, then here are a few questions to try and answer that might help them:
   What do you think of when someone mentions the garden?
   What has been your favorite activity in the garden?  Maybe digging, planting or even eating?  Can you use that activity to create a name?
   If the garden were a book or a video game, then what would it be called?

Students will receive a contest entry form this week during class which will be collected by teachers this Friday.  The winning name will be selected by the Friends of Gardnerville board along with Principal Rosner and announced after students return from the Thanksgiving holiday.

As an added bonus we have a parent at school who is a blacksmith and who has agreed to make a sign for the garden so the winning name will be memorialized for all to see!

We look forward to seeing what creative names our students come up with!
