Ms. Elyzabeth was surprised with a grant from the WASD Education Foundation this week!! The creativity grant funds will be used to introduce all of the students of Christine Donnell School of the Arts into the art form of puppetry!
The funds secured will provide the opportunity for our students to experience an assembly put on by Levity Puppets , followed by puppet making of various levels for all of our K-5 students! With the help of our music teachers, students will learn songs that their puppets will sing, while using our school camera devices to create videos!!
Stay tuned for updates of this project coming to life!!
