Mr. McArdle’s Weekly Update - 5/4/18

The Monsters Are on the Move! One of our goals each year is to find different ways to connect

with our Wolcott Street School friends to build community. It

is exciting to see the many ways our staff creates opportunities

for this to be accomplished. One of the ongoing projects has

been an effort between our 2nd and 7th graders. The 2nd grade

art students each draw a 2D creative monster on paper in Ms.

Skyer’s class. Those drawings are then sent over to Ms. Castro

whose 7th grade art students use their skills and creative to

bring to life through the use of paper maché and vibrant paint.

The end product is literally a carbon copy of the 2D drawing! This year, with the support of our

Instructional Technology Coach, Mrs. Bertrand, we took the project to another level by bringing in Mr.

Knisley’s 8th grade English students who created a writing piece to go along with each of the 2D

drawings. So in the end this collaborative project brought together three grade levels, close to 300

students, and four staff members! You can see all the final products on May 15th at the Wolcott Street

School Fine Arts Festival in their Media Center, the same location of the annual School Budget Vote

which runs from 8am-8pm. A HUGE thanks to our staff and students involved in this fun and creative

project!

O Romeo! Tuesday our freshmen and sophomores had the pleasure

of attending an assembly in our auditorium to see the

Merry-Go-Round Youth Theatre present Romeo &

Juliet. This traveling theater group engaged our students

in a great production and also interacted with them after

the show with Q&A. Big thanks to Mrs. Brotherton for

coordinating this opportunity for our students and

bringing the pages to life on our stage.

Freshly Wrapped! When the Marching Knights head on the road this

season, everyone will know! Director Mr. Nordhausen

recently unveiled our freshly wrapped equipment trailer

parked on campus on the west side of our building! The

trailer will travel with the band and store everything for

our Marching Knights. Everyone is excited for this new

look and it definitely will pop on the road representing

our school community. Thanks to Mr. Nordhausen for

his vision!
