After school art, Grandparents Day scheduled at Taylor Parks

Things are very busy at Taylor Parks Elementary School these days.

As part of the "Arts at the Parks" program, third-, fourth- and fifth-graders at the school have the opportunity to join the "After School Art Club." It is hosted by third-grade teacher Amanda McLaughlin. Each grade receives a month of instruction and the resulting artwork is displayed in the hallways of the building.

March 14 marks "Grandparents Day" for kindergarteners and first-graders. Interested grandparents can spend a half-day with their grandchild and visit the book fair. Lifetouch offers a memory portrait of the event and snacks and projects will be on the agenda.

That day, by the way, marks the start of the book fair, which runs until March 21. All students and parents are welcome. An online book fair is available on the school's Web site.

Lastly, a big thanks goes out to State Rep. Douglas Geiss (D-Taylor), who visited Taylor Parks on March 4 to kick off Reading Month.
