February 2015

Spring Lake shows how much they care during Kindness Week.  During this week students focus on standing up against bullying and being kind to each other no matter our differences.  The theme for the week was:  We may all “BEE” different, but in this HIVE we all BUZZ together with kindness!  Monday was BEE a HERO by “BEE”ing kind.  Students dressed up as their hero.  On Tuesday students wore silly shoes and socks to “BEE” kind and STAND UP against bullying.  Wednesday was HAT’s off to “BEE”ing kind.

A small touring group comprised of Ballet West company dancers and a narrator put on an amazing presentation called “Ballet and The Nutcracker.”  The program is designed to give children the opportunity to experience how the basic elements of dance, music and the visual arts combine into a presentation.  The students learned a little of the history of ballet and the dancers explained aspects of their professional careers, such as daily practice, appreciation of music, good posture, basic positions, technique, and dedication to their work.
