Updates Ahead

BEAUTIFULLY MADE ART SHOW AND AUCTION:

Placer Academy's Beautifully Made Art Show and Auction is looking for sponsors! Sponsorships offer businesses the chance to market within our school community (both at school and at the event), reserve a front row table (for up to 8 guests) at the event, and other amenities at various price points. Businesses aren't the only ones with sponsorship opportunities - friends and families can sponsor together! A group sponsorship reserves your table (for up to 8) and includes additional amenities to enjoy. Sponsorships are available at multiple levels.
All funds from the art show and auction directly benefit our art program and ensure all students will continue to enjoy rich art history and hands-on art experiences each week. Please consider becoming an art show sponsor today! 
PIZZA HOT LUNCH:

The next hot lunch is on Wednesday, January 30, and it is pizza!  
Please make sure to have your orders in by Thursday, January 24th.
NATIONAL SCHOOL CHOICE WEEK:

GLASS BOTTLES NEEDED:

Empty glass bottles (Starbuck's drink bottles, milk bottles, etc.) are needed for the art show.  Please send in yours ASAP.

Minds Under Construction

UPPER ACADEMY DANCE:

Our Upper Academy students enjoyed their very first middle school dance.  The kids organized the entire event.  A good time was had by all!
RAINY DAYS:

Placer Academy doesn't let a little rain keep us from getting some outdoor activities.  One of our students has a chat with Mr. Hawkins at recess.

Article of the Week

HERE'S WHAT KIDS REALLY NEED TO KNOW BEFORE KINDERGARTEN:

I have a friend who took kindergarten prep very seriously. When her son began getting homework in preschool (“homework” and “preschool” being two words that should never go together) and he couldn’t properly identify on the homework that “car” started with the letter “C,” she freaked out.

“The poor kid was practically homeschooled over the summer,” she later told me. “I got a bunch of activity books and we worked on them. I think we did sight words, adding and subtracting, letter sounds and opposites. Pretty much all the stuff we did in kindergarten.”
