Literary Journal update
The Art Committee at Sunnyside is reviving the literary journal with the aim at providing each child the opportunity to publish a written word or work of art in a collective magazine that will be created by the school and made available to each child and for sale to all families and friends. The journal will be released at the Spring Fest on May 22. In order to make that release date, the teachers, administration, parents, and, especially the students, must all rally around a shared vision and a set of achievable milestones.
All grades, K-5, will participate and we would like to recruit 4th and 5th grade volunteers to assist in the layout and production of the journal. In this first volume of “The Ray” we would like to utilize the title of the magazine and focus on the themes of growth. If you look up “ray” in the dictionary, you will find 16 definitions from a ray of sunshine (or other scientific applications) to a ray of hope. The theme of “growth”; therefore, can be interpreted in many scientific or personal ways. A ray of sunshine, as an example, fosters growth in plants, food, and nurtures the world. A student may want to focus on growth in a more personal nature. For example, how has he/she “grown” this year at Sunnyside?
The idea is to have fun with the theme and ultimately be proud of the final results!
