We are thrilled to announce that MHES is a proud recipient of a Spring 2017 Access for All Grant through Young Audiences of Maryland. With this support, MHES will host NRITYA, an acclaimed Indian dance duo for (2) back to back assemblies on February 3rd.
We are thrilled to host this program in celebration of our school's incredibly diverse student community. Thank you to the PTO parents for grant writing support to make this possible. NRITYA features Indian Classical dancers, Lakshmi Swaminathan and Lavanya Thamire. NRITYA, in Indian dance vocabulary, means expressive dance. The program will introduce students to the myths and legends of India while also identifying shared commonalities. NRITYA reinforces the universality of dance across cultures.

Here is a little of what they have planned to keep our kids creative in the classroom!  Pages from self-published comic, Patchwork, Jess Bastidas, 2013 Dear Parents,
My name is Miss Jess and I am really looking forward to working with all of your wonderfully creative children! I am finishing my Master’s in Art Education from the Maryland Institute College of Art and as part of my student teaching placement, I will have the pleasure of working alongside Miss Melone for the next seven weeks. In class, I hope that we can uncover the role of artmaking in our world, art as a form of communication and expression, and learn more about the elements of art. I will be bringing in some new materials so that students can explore everything from sculpture to mixed media so PLEASE have your children bring in a t-shirt or smock that they can get messy in! In the art classroom, all students are researchers working through inquiry to develop their critical thinking skills and problem-solve collaborative and creative solutions. Additionally, students learn to develop open-mindedness, test new perspectives, and honor divergent ways of being in an inclusive and interconnected community of makers. Finally, art has the capacity to transfer to diverse content areas so that, in the world outside the classroom, students can be empowered to advance as independent, self-directed, lifelong learners. Looking forward to working with and learning from all of your young artists!

Many thanks to all those who contributed to the Holiday Drive and helped us bring Christmas gifts to families in need at Medfield Heights Elementary.
