Magnificent Masks

First grade artists were hard at work on Wednesday, April 30 and Wednesday, May 7! Artist, Doug Dacar, came and taught the students how to create wonderful, creative masks. He was kind enough to teach how to create the mask out of clay and then come back the following week to share the finer points of painting the masks. Students had a fabulous time creating. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your time again Doug!!

First Grade Author's Night

On Thursday, May 8 Myers first grader authors read their favorite pieces of writing to a packed house at the West Salem Starbucks. The students had chosen two of their works from this year to share with the family, friends, and community members that gathered to honor them. Visitors enjoyed complimentary cookies, hot chocolate, and coffee courtesy of Starbucks. It was a wonderful time to celebrate all of the hard work done by the first graders this year. Thank you to Kellie Leavenworth and Starbucks for supporting Myers authors!!
