Artists in Schools – New 2009-2010 Grant Award from the California Arts Council

The California Arts Council is pleased to announce a matching grant award to Forestville Education Foundation.  The "Artists in the Schools" grant program is designed to support non-profit foundations to bring artists-in-residence education activities to the classroom.  This year’s grant award will support the K-3rd art program with artist/teacher Deborah Padrick.  The K-3rd art students will accomplish art activities that include the California State Standards for Visual Arts. Mrs. Padrick (aka Mrs. Paintbrush) emphasizes individuality and creative interpretations in each day’s art investigation.  Art history, art concepts, art vocabulary, and the use of varied art materials are introduced through hands-on art experiences.  Watch for exhibits of the students’ art in hallways at Forestville School and in businesses in our town. The "Artists in Schools" program helps bring professionals to the school setting.  The intent of the
“Artists in Schools” program is to integrate community arts resources - artists and professional art organizations - into a comprehensive, standards-based approach that underscores the critical role that the arts play in shaping a student’s overall well being and academic achievement. 

Forestville Education Foundation’s strategic plan is committed to maintaining and increasing the visual and performing arts opportunities to all students at Forestville School. It takes an entire community to sustain creative arts as part of our childrens’ educational opportunities, so please donate time or financial support whenever possible.  The California Arts Council, Artists in Schools, program is supported by the National Endowment for the Art, and proceeds from the sale of the Arts License Plate, a specialty plate designed by noted California artist, Wayne Thiebaud (for more information on the Arts License Plate, go to www.cac.ca.gov).  National_Endowment.jpg

FORESTVILLE UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT’S

POSITIVE DISCIPLINE PROGRAM

 

Some of you may have heard your child talk about “green tickets” or winning raffle prizes.  This is part of our school-wide positive discipline program.  This program emphasizes reinforcement of good behavior and celebrating students and teachers for following our motto:

 

BE KIND

BE SAFE

BE RESPONSIBLE

 

The program has been very successful!  We are proud of our students and staff.  The BEST program also encourages parent and community support.  A good way for you to encourage your child is to use the words we use in our motto, praise them when they are showing kindness, safety, and responsibility, and then hand them a raffle ticket which you may download.  They can turn these in for our drawing each week.
