Stewart Stars in K-2 were thrilled to welcome author/illustrator Bruce Arant! We love his books about Simpson's Sheep!
Watching him draw and read was awesome! And we had so much fun using our imaginations to create a completely unique creature with him!







Bruce Arant, author/illustrator, shared amazing insights into drawing facial expressions with Stewart School 3rd-5th graders! We were SURPRISED & EXCITED to learn we could draw a few lines & shapes to create 20 different expressions! We are so HAPPY he came to show us how!







Do you have a child that will be 5 by September 1, 2024? Come to the Open House on February 6 at any of the elementary schools from 4:00 - 6:00 pm.

Stewart Families,
Need a good indoor blizzard activity for the kids?
A winter wonderland has taken over our streets. The recent blizzard has transformed our town into a magical snow globe, complete with fluffy snowflakes and sparkling icicles.
The Stewart Elementary PTA is hosting a snow globe design contest for our students. This is a wonderful opportunity for our young artists to showcase their creativity and imagination.
Students can print the attached snow globe to create their own unique snow globe designs using any materials they choose. The winners will receive special prizes and recognition. We encourage all students to participate in this fun and exciting event and to let their creativity shine!

So let's embrace the beauty of this winter season and enjoy our town's snow globe transformation. Don't forget to bundle up and stay safe!
Please share your children's complete works to our Facebook page under the original post. We will pick a winner at our February meeting!
