Yearbook Order Form

5th Grade Wax Museum
On Friday, our 5th Grade students transformed themselves into a wonderful array of historical figures. Saints, explorers, presidents, and more flooded Paluch Hall, telling us of their struggles and triumphs. Congratulations to our Sparks on their excellent presentations!

Our final Fantastic Friday event will feature Embers’ Fine Arts Fair this Friday. Don’t miss this chance to delight your eyes and ears!
  • Annual Spark Art Show | 12:00 – 3:00 p.m.
    Families are welcome to view the many works of art created by our K-5 students during art class this year. Our Sparks have been learning about art ‘through the ages’, including history highlights, famous artists, and the progression of art styles from ancient to modern times. Artwork will be displayed throughout the front lobby and South hall.
  • 4th Grade Living Art Museum | 12:30-1:30 p.m.
    Our 4th grade Sparks have been diligently preparing the “Living Art Museum”, featuring famous artists and their artwork. Students worked with Mrs. Nelson on a writing project to collect information and with Mrs. Wasserman to bring their artwork to life! Stroll down our hall and experience art in action.
  • Embers Music Performance | 2:00 – 2:45 p.m.
    Embers Band students in beginning, intermediate, and advanced band will each perform a selection of music followed by a Fire Choir presentation of their Extravaganza songs. The performance will take place in Paluch Hall.

Final Little Sparks on Wednesday!
