For Black History Month, sixth grade students made busts of people with charcoal in art class. Their art work was made for Maitland City Hall to honor Black History and people of color. "Drawing and learning about these influential figures was very fun and informational," Peyton W. said. "It is a good project for this month. I enjoyed it. I thought it was a good way to honor colored people," Lia Z. said. Ms. Bonus taught and helped the students represent "the power of diversity and art" in an amazing way. "I am honored to celebrate with Park Maitland School and the sixth-grade class. I would quote Barack Obama, 'Our difference are the ties that bind us.' and that is so true," Ms. Bonus said. Making this piece of art work was so fun and enjoyable! "I love the experience Ms. Bonus gave us to express our thought and emotion to art," Evelyn H. said. |

This week, Ms. Dawson, homeroom teacher, invited 3-Green on a field trip to the Audobon Center for Birds of Prey. Students even enjoyed a special appearance by Michael Anna. "We had a great bonding experience, we got to talk to each other during breaks, almost everyone from our class was there," Valentina C. said. Located in the city of Maitland and the town of Eatonville. "They had a lot of birds there and most of them had to be rescued," Annabelle W. said. "There were two little birds, Sanford and Billy Owlish. Billy Owlish lost an eye, and they thought it was going to infect the whole entire body," Chase L. said. Visitors can learn about ways to get involved with helping birds of prey and the importance of habitats and resources they depend on. "There were a lot of birds, some of them were rescued and it was outside, rainy, cold, but we still got through it and still wanted to look at the birds. We learned so much, there were Owls, Hawks, Ospreys, and so many other birds that the Birds of Prey risked their lives to rescue," Elle F. said. The boys afterward headed off to the dock. "The dock is meant for birds to dive down and pick up food," Mateo K. said. |

Ms. Dawson and the 3-Green class surprised Mr. Anna with a "Hands down you are the best" sign as a thank you for joining them at the Birds of Pery Center. They enjoyed having him join them for the incredible experience this week. |

This week, first grade students took a trip to the Orlando Rep to see Bob Marley's Three Little Birds. "It was a sing-along; everybody can sing the song if they knew it, technically everything was one big song with very little acting," Adam M. said. Students enjoyed the musical featuring the timeless music of Bob Marley and based on the children's book by his daughter Cedella Marley.
