7th grade Art Exhibit at Redline Studio

Redline's Educational Initiative for Creative (EPIC) Arts Program gives students a chance to voice some of the issues they may be experiencing. EPIC challenges students to create "socially engaged" works of art. The objective is for students to collaborate with each other and an in-resident artist from Redline, in hopes to increase their understanding of art as a means of communication. After many classes discussing the question "what is unfair?" The students have started to create four pieces communicating "fake friends" and bullying. The 7th grade Art exhibit will be featured at Redline for a few weeks. The opening day is Saturday, December 13th from 1-4pm.

The class is creating four pieces. One group is making giant iPhones that with reveal a text conversation where a subject is getting bullied. The second group is making a shadow box scene of a hallway where a student is getting talked about behind her back. The third group is making a paper mâché "two face head". The last group is creating life size figures out of tape and one figure who is different from the others, who is made out of tinfoil.

We are proud of the work of our 7th graders and their Art teachers, Ms. Russo! We encourage you to stop by Redline to see their work! 

Coats for Kids!

Annunciation students and families are blessed to have the support of many different community partners. Last week the Knights of Columbus, as part of their Coats for Kids Campaign, brought in new coats for all of our students! 

We are thankful for the Knights and their generous donation! 

8th Grade Chautauqua Park video

Two weeks ago, our 8th graders spent the day on retreat at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. They hiked, spent time reflecting, and also spent time having fun with their middle school teachers. We are blessed to have such a great group of young adults leading our school this year.
