Reflections Workshop

10/11/2024 7:38 pm

 

We’re thrilled to invite your young artists to our new 2024 Reflections Workshop—a two-part, hands-on art event designed to spark creativity! This year’s theme, “Accepting Imperfection,” is all about encouraging students to explore their artistic side in a fun, inspiring space.  We’re also happy to announce an extended due date for Reflections entries, now due by November 4

 

Workshop Palette: 

 

• Dates: Monday, October 21 & Monday, October 28 

• Time: 3:15 – 4:15 PM 

• Location: 1st Grade POD 

• Cost: Free for all participants! 


What to Expect: 

Students will meet in the POD at dismissal, and our chaperone will guide kindergarteners. 

 

Students will start by brainstorming and sketching their ideas, followed by creating their masterpieces. In the second session, they’ll complete their artwork and craft an artist statement (a must for Reflections entries). All supplies will be provided—just send a snack and water bottle to fuel their creativity! 

 

Pick-Up Your Young Artists: 

Pick-up will be at the front doors of the school. 

 

Sign-Up Details: 

Space is limited to 25 budding artists, so reserve a spot here!

We can’t wait to see your child’s imagination shine through their art! 

WE DID IT! $76,000!

10/4/2024 3:03 pm

This morning, Peter Kirk students and teachers ran not just for fun, but also to celebrate hitting our $76,000 goal! We could not have achieved this milestone without the power of our generous families, faculty, and business sponsors. We are so proud to be part of the Peter Kirk community!

 

THANK YOU to the 250+ families that donated to our cause! And congratulations to Ms. Clasen's, Ms. Glickert's, and Ms. Matrecano's classes who won the participation competition and will have the honor of silly stringing Mr. Chad later this month! Please remember to submit your donations if you have company matching as we account for these separately.

 

THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered to make it such a special event, especially our Eagle Joe Dobner! Thank you Mr. Chad for being such a great sport for our class competition. Thank you Goldfish Swim Academy and Kate Savitch Design for sponsoring the event. And as always, thanks to our wonderful Principal, Monica Garcia, for supporting our fundraising and this event each and every year.

 

THANK YOU to our 2024-25 business sponsors for their generous support for the school year - Kate Savitch Design, Goldfish Swim Academy, Columbia Athletic Club, Juanita Kids Dentistry, Lake Washington Medical Aesthetics, Babies of the Homelessness, Sprout and Smile, and Emerald City Orthodontics.
