Delta Arts Alliance/ Atmos Children's Art Competition

Thank you, Delta Arts Alliance and Atmos

for investing in the children of Cleveland!

DAA and Atmos Energy recently sponsored a Children's Art Competition. Those of you who did not attend Tuesday night's Exhibit Opening missed a real treat! From the beautifully displayed artwork to the delicious refreshments, the exhibition and reception gave the children a wonderful opportunity to have their artwork celebrated. AND I'm happy to say that a number of our own PDS students were included in the exhibit! In fact, Chloe Spitz won 1st place in her division, while Katie Soliz, Gypsy Griffin, and Rebecca Blackstock were awarded Honorable Mentions. Congratulations, to all our Young Artists!

In case you missed the opening, let me encourage you to visit the DAA gallery in the historic Ellis Theater and enjoy this exhibit before the show closes on July 1! You will be glad you did!

Magnificent Monograms

Who says practicing cutting skills has to be boring? Not our PDS preschoolers! Look at the beautiful monograms they snipped, snipped, snipped!

Our Spring Art Show and Grandparents Day was.....well... GRAND!

Thanks to Mrs. Kinnison, Mrs. Burd, the K3-Gr.1 teachers and students, and our wonderful PTF, PDS recently hosted many of our students' grandparents and grandfriends for a special program, breakfast, and Art Exhibit. What a "grand" celebration it was! The food was delicious and the grandchildren adorable! Not only did it give us a chance to honor and thank special loved ones, but it also gave them a chance to enjoy the fruits of their grandchildren's efforts in the PDS Art Room this year. WE LOVE OUR GRANDPARENTS AND GRANDFRIENDS! Below are a few snaps from this special event!
