Swords in school? Kindergarten used our "steady beat swords" to keep the beat as we practice for our spring concert. Movement and music are so important. Pool noodles and shiny tape can go a long way!

Our 7th graders celebrated Black History Month by diving deep into the powerful legacy of the Civil Rights Movement and the vital contributions of Black leaders. After reflecting on the fight for equality, each student chose an influential figure to research and honor.
The project culminated in a gallery of original art pieces, where students used their creativity to bring the stories of these icons to life. From vibrant portraits to symbolic masterpieces, our students have truly captured the spirit of resilience and achievement!
Take a closer look at their projects and read the artist statements on Mrs. Tassler’s website: https://sites.google.com/view/mrstassler/7th-black-history

This weekend, talented high school artists headed to Spearfish for the Art Wars Regions Meet!
Art Wars is a high-energy "battle" where students compete in live creative challenges, producing original work under tight deadlines. It was a fantastic experience filled with fast-paced drawing, technical skill-building, and plenty of inspiration.
Our students had a wonderful time connecting with other creators and showing off their skills. We are so proud of their hard work and creativity!
