Step Into Spring Kids Fashion Show

Kenwood Country Club
March 13, 2011

I think I just witnessed the future leaders of Cincinnati… if not America. On behalf of the Help Me Grow program provided by Lighthouse Youth Services, Creative Tots hosted a fashion show at Kenwood Country Club with some of the cutest kids in the Tri-State.

Hey Tyra, no need to search out winners on America’s Next Top Model, they’ve been spied right here.

Of course some of the kids were a little shy on the runway but that only served to boost the OMG/AHH factor while others had a natural swag that they brought to the show. Along with the spirited youths, audience members were delighted by the fashion—special thanks to Castle House and The Wardrobe. Proud to say I’ve bought dresses from both stores!

Today we had a special guest: Ms. Penny!  ms. Penny made our classroom colorful by teaching the children about Franz Marc.  Franz Marc was a German painter who contributed to the German Expressionist Movement.  The boys and girls did a fantastic job drawing the outline of their picture, then using watercolors to make a beautiful masterpiece!

We put the paints away on Monday during Art Class as Ms Penny taught us about Edgar Degas and what it means to be a sculptor!  We worked on a special sculpture for the art show based on Mexican Artwork, then used our creativity to create our own masterpiece!

Ms.  Penny was visiting the Sonoran Desert Museum on Friday and sent videos to the students of  different animals they saw while they were there.  The children were able to watch them on our new smartboard, then make their own video and send it back!  It’s amazing how technology can bring the world right into our very own classroom!

The time has come.  The school year is once again upon us and all of us are ready (including the kids).  As we do each year, we will be kicking off with our annual Back to School Carnival.  Miss Penny, Miss Joanie and all the regular favorites will be on hand for art and song while the snow cones and popcorn abound.  This year is going to be phenomenal.  We are excited that you were able to join us and look forward to kicking things off right.  Come on out to 7803 Laurel Avenue from 3:30-5:30pm and bring your camera.  You don’t want to miss the opportunity to take a picture of the four-year-old face-painted spider-man, clutching half a cherry snow cone with a mouth full of laffy taffy attempting a spin-art masterpeice while dancing to Miss Joanie’s potty song and stuffing his pockets full of popcorn . . . because he may turn out to be yours.  Have Fun!
