It's #ArtsEdWeek so we stopped by North High, where Jennifer Rericha's Ceramics I class was hard at work on their first major project, slab boxes. "We focus on the fundamentals of constructing artwork out of clay," Rericha says, and a theme of the student's choice. @FZInnovate
We will always remember.

Mrs. Day's 4th graders at Forest Park Elementary kicked off their English Language Arts unit by talking to scientist and researcher Dr. Julia Stevens. (Dr. Stevens happens to be Mrs. Day's sister!) She shared her work in a variety of fields, including marine biology, which connected directly to the book 4th Graders are reading in class, and with research reports they will be writing later this quarter.
Checking in at FZW!
Volunteerism is a big part of the work done in Leadership classes at all Fort Zumwalt high schools. FZW’s Lee Hardy has built a strong connection with the City of O’Fallon to provide students an avenue to explore volunteer opportunities and to help the city with beautification work and other projects. Megan Piel visited this week to kick things off with the new class, starting with swag and snacks. #FZCommunity
