Enrichment Opportunities

• Health Education: Lessons are designed to develop essential health skills for adopting, practicing, and maintaining health-enhancing behaviors.

• Physical Education: In physical education class, students develop skills for making good use of leisure time, engaging in activities conducive to healthy living, developing socially, and contributing to their physical and mental health.

• Art Education:

  Art is everywhere in our building. Whether walking the hallways, using the elevator, or stopping by the local MICA Art Gallery, you will spot Mrs. Monterroso's student artwork. All of our K-8 students create works of art based on art movements, famous artists, and other elements from art history. Through printmaking, sculpture, painting, and drawing, they will learn the elements and principles of art to prepare them for middle and high school.
