Our Very First "Atrium from Afar!" Challenge: Giraffe-Drawing!

Hello Families, Faculty and Staff!

It was wonderful to see so many of you today at school!  Thanks for making the day such a smooth one.  At the close of this message is a fun challenge for everyone in the community to participate in.  But first, a few business items.  

  • Be sure to read teachers' emails arriving early this week.  These will orient you to your children's new routines for learning.

  • This message comes to you via conventional email; check your spam filters to ensure you allow the regular Mailchimp messages we are sending. These same messages will be archived at the Atrium News website.  Please stay current on our communications to you.

  • The buildings and grounds of Atrium School are now closed to families until school re-opens, April 7th at the soonest. Should you need anything from the building, contact Sydney Mason-Barrett for arrangements.

Now for the fun part.  From time to time, I'll issue a new "Atrium From Afar" challenge that everyone can participate in. This first one goes like this:

1)  Gather your family, with blank sheets of paper and writing utensils...

2)  Set a timer for two minutes.  When everyone is ready, start the timer...

3)  Within those two madcap minutes, each person draws a giraffe!

Once you have finished the "Atrium From Afar" challenge and your laughter has subsided, snap pictures of your results and send them to mcarter@atrium.org by Thursday at 10 a.m.  By week's end, we'll share the results (no names attached...) and you can marvel at the humorous herd of giraffes we create together.  Can we make 199 giraffes or more?

Warmly,

Marshall
