Brummitt Hosts 'Take Your Parents to Related Arts' Week
Brummitt Elementary recently hosted Take Your Parents to Related Arts during the school day. Each grade had a date and time frame to visit their child’s related arts classes. This event is part of a national movement, Active Schools, to help schools provide at least 60 minutes a day of physical education (PE) and before, during a after school for physical activity for all students. This movement was taken to another level by hosting classroom events in art, music and PE classes that week. Brummitt used this event to introduce the school’s art, music and PE programs and teachers to parents so they will engage in similar activities with their children throughout the year; and to encourage families to play together and be creative at home and in the community.

Giving a Helping Hand
As part of their community helpers unit, Brummitt Kindergarten students participated in various skill-based activities centered around the various jobs that people do. Superintendent Dr. Ginger Bolinger and Assistant Superintendent Jim Goetz were invited as some of our schools' very own community helpers to participate in each teacher's small group rotations during this unit.
