Tom Galliford, Bethel's town marshal has met the new 4th grade Johnson School students on Friday and will be seeing the 5th graders this Friday, to introduce the Fire Prevention Poster contest and also speak to them about the dangers of fire, fire prevention, and fire safety. Every year in October, the 4th & 5th graders at Johnson school are encouraged to participate in the CT Fire Prevention Poster contest. This is an excellent opportunity for children to blend imagery and typography, all while spreading a life saving message. County winners are awarded a $150 money prize, and the grand prize winner receives an additional $750!

Great job everyone, and thank you for the excellent participation!! Art Slam is an exhibit held at the State Capitol in Hartford, CT. It is designed to raise awareness of the art education to our state Governor and Legislature. The Connecticut Arts Education Association promotes this initiative for students Pre K - 12th grade across the state. Congratulations to 4th Grader Ellie Clayton and 5th Grader Sarae Zinnah, whose creations were selected to represent Johnson School as exemplary art works! On Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Johnson School held their 15th annual Art Walk. It was a spectacular success. The students and their families all came out to enjoy seeing the artworks that they and their classmates had created throughout the school year. The children of Bethel should be so proud of their efforts and accomplishments, I certainly am!

Johnson School always shows remarkable talent and high participation with this contest opportunity, and we are looking forward to another great year of beautiful recycle poster submissions, that support this year's theme, "I want to be recycled? What could I be?" Every year, Johnson School students are encouraged to participate in the annual statewide Fire Prevention Poster Contest. The purpose of this competition is to encourage students to learn about and share this knowledge with their community, family, and friends about the importance of fire safety and prevention. This year's town representatives are fourth grade student Amelia Griswold and fifth grader Ruby Ackerman. Congratulations to you both and best of luck in the county wide level of the competition!

Welcome back to my new 5th Grade class and welcome to my incoming 4th graders! I am so excited to get to know my new students and get back to work with my fifth graders. Kids, get ready for a fun filled school year, where you are going to learn a whole lot this year about artists, how to create beautiful works of art using innovative art techniques, and explore art materials in creative ways.
