IHPS Art Show April 21st - 30th
The Primary School Art Show will be taking place on April 21st-30th! Students have worked hard this year to create some incredible masterpieces that deserve to be celebrated. During the week of the Art Show, Lauren Girdler will be sending parents a link to a Google Slideshow. Each slide will showcase each student in your child's class and their work created this year. BVA Teachers will be showing the slideshow to students, but we thought you might like to see student work as well.
While presenting the slideshow, parents are encouraged to create conversations around artwork such as:
“Which artwork are you most proud of and why?”
“Which artwork was the most challenging and why?”
“If you could change one piece or spend more time on one, which would it be and why?”
We hope you enjoy experiencing your child's art with them!

April is National School Library Month
Celebrate National School Library Month by helping your child to check out a book (or three) from school or from the Hamilton County Public Library. #IHBVA students have been able to continue reading through the creative support of our school media specialists and aides this year.
