First graders explored transparent, translucent, and opaque materials- and then put their learning to work by creating their very own stained glass windows! 🎨
They tested how light passes through different materials and turned their discoveries into colorful masterpieces. Now they decorate the doorways of the school 🌈💡

Some of our students recently enjoyed a field trip to see a TYKEs (Theater Young Kids Enjoy) performance of Are You My Mother? at the JCC.
They loved reading the book beforehand and then noticing how the writers changed the story for the stage. It was truly magical to see storytelling come to life!

Our 6th grade artists recently wrapped up the second part of their Japanese art unit by creating their own maneki neko (beckoning cat) sculptures.
Students learned about the cultural significance of these traditional Japanese symbols and explored the meaning behind the different colors often used in maneki neko designs. After studying their history and purpose, students applied their knowledge to craft unique sculptures that reflect both creativity and cultural understanding.
Their finished pieces are a fun and meaningful celebration of Japanese art and symbolism!

We’re proud to celebrate senior, Caitlyn, whose original animation won the RIT School of Film and Animation Award at the RIT Start Here Exhibition!
Caitlyn created her piece on an iPad, starting with a digital oil painting of a landscape and then animating each falling leaf in a seamless loop over the painting. The result is a beautiful blend of fine art and animation that truly stood out.
Amazing work, Caitlyn—we can’t wait to see what you create next!
