On Thursday, March 18th we left for a two day arts field trip to the Milwaukee area, spending all of Thursday afternoon at the Milwaukee Art Museum...

Thursday evening, we attended the AMC mall's IMAX theater to watch the Tim Burton film, "Alice in Wonderland"...here you see Mr. Seiler with his son Jason...who came up from Chicago to join us. Jason character designed three of the movie's characters- Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, and Bandersnatch.

Dig those crazy 3D glasses!!!

Of course, following the movie the girls had to get into a little arcade game action...!


Friday morning, we had an appointment to visit the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, (known as MIAD)...getting a tour of the whole building and all arts departments, student work spaces...very interesting and much fun!

The final treat was on our leg trip home, diverting to go by way of Algoma, and stopping at the Flying Pig green gallery, co-owned and operated by Susan Connor and Robyn Mulhaney.

Great time was had...long drive, but over all too soon...

Students in grades 4th-6th enjoyed a trip to Ski Brule on March 2. Most of the 4th graders had never skiied before and were surprised how fast they learned. Some of their parents also learned to ski. A special thanks goes to the Ski Brule staff, all the adult chaperones, and Lisa Carter for taking great pictures. We all had a blast!
