Congratulations to 5th Grader Preethika Shenoy, who was awarded first place honors at the Regional Recycle Poster contest Awards Celebration that was held on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 at Union Savings Bank in Danbury. Preethika was one of over 2000 participants in the eleven municipalities that come together annually to raise awareness about recycling, through this poster contest. She won a $75 money prize and was one of six Bethel students to receive this recognition and honor as a Regional winner. Way to go Preethika!! March is Youth Art Month, and is a time when educators across the nation promote the visual arts and art education in our country. Congratulations to the following Ralph M.T. Johnson School students, 5th grade students Kayleigh C., Mia M., Mia N., and Giada R., and 4th grade students Gina A., and Indigo L., who have each had an outstanding work of art selected to be a part of the 2019 Connecticut Art Educator’s Association Youth Art Celebration. What is YAC? The 2019 CAEA Youth Art Celebration is a preK-12th grade art show of highest caliber work created by students in Connecticut. It is a non-juried art show which celebrates the joy, expression, creation and success by school aged children. A reception is scheduled for Saturday, March 9, 2019 at Central Connecticut State University, Maloney Hall - S.T. Chen Fine Arts Center. Thank you for your outstanding efforts and congratulations on this achievement!! On Monday, February 4, 2019 Johnson School had the pleasure of participating in the 20th Annual Celebration of the Arts, at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington, CT. Our school honorees are fifth graders Preethika Shenoy and Aidan Badia. Both students were recognized for their outstanding citizenship, cooperative skills, and artistic ability in the performing and/or visual arts. Both Preethika and Aidan are extraordinary students with exceptional skills in the arts. They are admirable individuals who are fair, honest, kind, compassionate, and helpful. They often exceed the expectations of their teachers and they are terrific role models for their peers. Ms. McCue, Mr. Robinson, Mrs. Liquori, Mrs. Galante, and the students’ families attended this wonderful event to celebrate the efforts and achievements of these two fine individuals. Congratulations to you both! Every year thousands of local artists participate in this wonderful contest to promote and encourage recycling.

Check out these videos Part One: Imagine Part Two: Create Collection of the Best Google Doodles Every year students have the opportunity to create a poster design with the theme of Fire Prevention. This is an annual initiative that I participate in with our town fire marshal, Mr. Tom Galliford.
Fourth grade participates as an option, typically outside of the art room. Fifth graders do the contest as a class assignment in Art. So, if you notice your children talking more about Fire safety, dangers, preventative measures, creating a meeting place, practicing a fire drill... My unit on Fire prevention may be why :) The packet that students may use for information and inspiration is located here. The informative Fire Prevention videos that the students have seen in Art class are also located here; Video 1 and Video 2. Please support our school initiative in teaching our children how to be safe in the event of a fire related emergency. Thank you!! Looking for a creative outlet this summer? Join the Painting and/or Sculpture classes that will be taught by Ms. McCue through the Bethel Public School's Summer Camp Program. Click HERE to enroll.
