Careers
We're looking for rare individuals. Teachers with degrees in early childhood or environmental education and a fire in the belly to make a difference. Administrators with a head for business and a heart for helping children reach their full potential. People who are so invested that they'll stay with us for years, growing and developing our educational community. Is that you?

If you walk around our school on any given day and look into the classrooms and in our kitchen area, you will almost always find a stash of a variety of recycled materials. Whether it is content left over from our own uses or it is recycled stuff brought in by our families, we always seem to have a treasury of recycled material.

Ms. Tanya and her students put some of that material to good use by constructing airplanes using only those recycled products.

A Pre-K student holds up his original recycled airplane creation.

We love to provide opportunities for students to exercise their creativity and imagination. This fun project was another way to do just that.  There was no formula or template for students to follow.  They simply used the materials that were available to them and created recycled airplane masterpieces.

A local retailer, Trader Joes, coincidentally was hosting a competition for children to build the airplanes and some of our students entered their contest.  We have not yet heard the results.  We will be sure to share any good news about the contest here on our blog.

I hope you enjoy the photos below showing the students making their planes.
