Congratulations to Willow first grader Marina Masanet! She won an Art Contest hosted by Louisiana East Girl Scouts Council. Her picture became an inspiration for one of their patches. Pictured are her original submission and the new patch. Way to go, Marina!
It was a busy week in the theater with 3rd and 4th Grade Exploratory students putting their hard work on display for audiences! Ms. Oliver’s 3rd Grade Class DAZZLED with their production of The Solar System Saga and Ms. Carney’s 4th Grade Class took us on another EPIC adventure with The Odyssey. Bravo to the cast and crew of both terrific shows, and thanks to Ms. Santos for her direction!
Ms. Kennedi Dejean worked with Mx. Ureta's 4th grade class to choreograph and perform their version of The Nutcracker. Using dance elements, the students worked together to choreograph 7 scenes based on the Nutcracker ballet. They then created poems about the dance and props to use in their dance production called The Willow Nutcracker.
Olivia Reed, Willow first grader in Ms. Fitzpatrick's classroom, won a city-wide 12 and under diorama art contest at the Bywater Museum of Unnatural History.
As part of the Louisiana Children's Museum's Living with Water student exposition, Willow 3rd graders studied the characteristics of the wetlands through the art of Walter Anderson. Using supplies from the Living with Water grant, the students chose a wetland animal and carved, printed and painted block prints in the style of Walter Anderson. This week the Children’s Museum displayed the art work for families.
Members of the Willow High School band performed at the Lower School's "Balloons Over Willow" Parade. In a nod to the Thanksgiving Day Parade, 2nd grade students paraded around the Lower School campus with creatively designed and built balloons, to the delight of the Willow community. Just one of the many perks of a K-12 school!

The fourth graders "Passed the Torch" to the third graders last Wednesday afternoon. Representatives from each fourth grade homeroom gave a speech, explaining what to expect in fourth grade, from behavior to special events, to kindergarten buddies. Then they passed a torch with advice and good wishes on it, letting the third graders know that they've got this!
