FOCUS ON THE ARTS |
|
The first annual Focus on the Arts, was a huge success. The event was held at Houston Baptist University's Morris Hall. Our musical directors, Lynn Pyle, Debbie Stark, and Pat Karakas, along with art teacher Nancy Frazier, did a marvelous job of working with The Village Middle School students to put together a fabulous feast for the eyes and ears. Many thanks are also due to the volunteers and parents who supported this groundbreaking event. Bravo!! | |

Spring Fling a SUCCESS! |
|
We don't have our final fundraising figures in yet, but judging by the smiles and laughter heard around the school last Sunday, a wonderful time was had by all. Roberta Bernstein and Jane Deyhimi did an outstanding job of coordinating the Spring Fling and spreading joy! A record number of children participated in the Fun Run.
Many thanks to all volunteers, donors, and families just having fun! |

POEM IN YOUR POCKET DAY - April 17th |
|
 On April 17, 2008, the Academy of American Poets is celebrating the first national Poem in Your Pocket Day! "For the past five years, New Yorkers have been unfolding poems on Poem in Your Pocket Day and reading them in parks, libraries, schools, workplaces, and bookstores." The Village School will be participating in this wonderful day. Seventh graders will be smack in the middle of their poetry books and will be pulling out their poems in class. Teachers will be talking about the day in class and reading poems with their classes.
How can you participate? Why not share the poem in YOUR pocket?
