Friday, November 8, 2013 – Daily News Education in Tehama County 5A Smith named Feature Teacher for October KEEP ON LEARNING Kindergarten Team receives grant for arts program The Kindergarten Team at Evergreen Elementary School was awarded a $250 grant from the Tehama County Arts Council this past summer. Those funds were used to purchase materials needed for the Arts Attack art curriculum in 5 kindergarten classrooms that serve more than 100 students. The Arts Attack curriculum helps students learn from the very beginning the proper techniques and terminology that they need to be successful with visual arts. It also gives them the experience to build confidence to express their creativity through the visual arts. Arts Attack not only helps build their level of artistic competence but also their ability to appreciate art in many forms. They also learn to become better listeners through the lessons and to build a confidence that enhances their academic experience. Students begin to identify themselves as artists. Tehama County Arts Council is a big part of supporting these Arts Attack projects this school year. The group relies in part on local memberships. Information about this group can be found at www.tehamaarts.org.

Exchange Club names students of the month Gerber School is part of the No Excuses University (NEU) network; which is a way to promote college awareness at the school by focusing daily work around Six Exceptional Systems — culture, collaboration, standards alignment, assessment, data management and interventions. Part of the commitment of NEU is that every classroom adopts a university to represent. Keri Safford, this year's Feature Teacher for Gerber, is a third and fourth grade teacher at Gerber School and has adopted the University of Montana for her classroom. She has made several connections with the university, which has taken a real interest in her class. The Montana Griz and the Sacramento Hornets played in Sacramento Saturday, Nov. 2. Keri arranged to take a group of students out to the game and managed to meet up with some of the players from UM afterwards. The students said the game was awesome, going into overtime, with an eventual win for the Griz. The kids had a great time and it was a fantastic opportunity for them that I'm sure they will never forget.
