Pop Up Art Show Le Jardin Academy Junior School is pleased to present an exclusive exhibition of extraordinary masterpieces by our talented Junior School keiki under the guidance of Mrs. Joy Gayton. According to our artists, the art show will feature "work based on our year long study of color, lines, shape, texture and perspective. A few of our favorite pieces are from our study of famous artists including "Starry Night" by Van Gogh, Jackson Pollock splatter painting, "Japanese Bridge" by Monet, "Sunflowers" by Van Gogh, Mondrian line animals, Kadinsky "Concentric Circles." and "Head of Man" by Paul Klee. We also created pieces based on Eric Carle books, organic shapes in nature, printmaking, relief texture, and watercolor resist techniques." This one-day exhibition opens tomorrow, Friday, May 21 in the courtyard. The children's art work will be on display in our courtyard for parent and family viewing during drop-off and pick-up hours.
JS Pajama Day Tomorrow, Friday, May 21st, we will be having a celebration of the friendships we have built this year with a "JS Pajama Party" - complete with dance parties, nail painting, temporary tattoos, and some special snacks. Students are invited to wear their favorite pair of pajamas. If children are sent in warm weather jammies, please send in a change of clothes for afterwards.
JK Moving Up Ceremony This year, amidst our many challenges, we've always strived to provide exceptional experiences. Our Junior Kindergarten Moving Up Ceremony will be no different, as this year we will be hosting a hybrid Virtual and Face-to-Face event on campus! Join us on May 28th at 12:00pm in the Junior School parking lot where each JK family will have a parking stall from which to view the ceremony. As parents enjoy the show from the comfort of their cars, family and friends around the world can watch the celebration - live streamed via this link on YouTube. Following the ceremony, students will parade through the parking lot to "Pomp and Circumstance" where parents will be encouraged to cheer, take pictures, and videos. After the processional, students will be permitted to visit with their families at their stalls for pictures and lei. Families are welcome to take home their child at this time, though not required. For students remaining at school, the day will continue as normal, including extended day. We recognize that, due to work or other obligations, some families may not be able to attend the ceremony. In those instances, we have arranged to have additional teachers on hand to ensure that those children feel celebrated as well. Parents that cannot attend in person will have the opportunity to send in a lei which will be presented to your child by their teacher after the processional. Parents, please remember to RSVP here for the event. Please check your child's Friday Folder for more information. We look forward to celebrating with you soon!
