This year, the Elementary school PE students did a fundraiser for Hoops for Heart. Hoops for
Heart is a fun event where kids can play basketball, learn about their heart and how to stay
healthy, while raising money for the American Heart Association. Furthermore, throughout the
course of two weeks, the students learned and practiced different basketball skills; including,
dribbling, shooting, passing, man-to-man and zone defense. In the end the Elementary students
raised $5,140 for Hoops for Heart. Tilden Nottleman collected the most donations with a total of $500. Great job to everyone that participated!

On Friday March 24th, High School Art students spent the day observing and learning about art. They visited the Omaha Public Schools TAC building to observe over 1,200 works of art on display for the Scholastic State Art Exhibition. They also visited the Joslyn Art Museum and participated in both a self-guided tour, and docent led tour. Students are pictured in front of a glass blown sculpture titled “Inside & Out” by living artist Dale Chihuly.

¡No te preocupes! Don’t worry! Spanish Club will help wish away your worries! Friday, Spanish Club got together to make worry dolls. Worry dolls are small hand-made dolls that come from Guatemala and Mexico. There is a legend that if you have a problem or worry in life, you share it with the doll before going to bed. Tell one worry to each doll, place them beneath your pillow while you sleep and the dolls will take your worries away.
