Meet the Masters - Meet the Masters is a PTA sponsored program that begins in October for grades 1-5, and January for Kindergarten. Six
times a year scholars in grades 1-5 participate in
assemblies and learn about a specific
artist. In the weeks following the assembly while
in their own classrooms they complete a learning
packet and participate in an in-class art activity
with our art teacher Mrs. Aalseth. Scholars then complete their very own works of art from
the particular artists. The artists this year are
Chagall, Klee, Seurat, Ringgold, Cezanne, Da Vinci. Kindergarten scholars participate four times
a year completing their artwork and will be learning about
Chagall, Klee, Seurat, Ringgold after the
first of the year.

Red Ribbon Week - The goal of Red Ribbon Week is to increase awareness and
prevent the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs in
our school and in our community.
Activities include a visit by an Orange County Sheriffs
deputy to talk about the history of Red Ribbon Week,
decorating Pavilion’s grocery bags with anti-drug
slogans, wearing various “costumes” to correspond to the
theme of the day and putting red ribbons around our
campus and our community to show our commitment to stay
drug free.

Young Authors Week - The goal of Young Author’s Week is to spark an interest
in our scholars for the written word; those of published
authors, other students and their own and to develop
their imaginations and their ability to communicate
their ideas to others.
Activities include assemblies by The Imagination
Machine, window decorations of scholar’s favorite books
and an all school “write-in.”
