PROTECT for 4th and 5th Graders

Parents/guardians of 4th & 5th graders: 


Your child is being invited to participate in PROTECT, a human trafficking prevention education program.  The prevention program was designed to empower students to know the signs of potential danger and trust their gut to report it to an adult.  Learn more about PROTECT by visiting www.protectnow.org.

  

The Elementary PROTECT curriculum focuses on educating students about safety, their rights, and ways to communicate when their boundaries have been crossed.  They will learn about resilience and how to identify safe people, safe places, and safe choices.


Parents/guardians must give permission for their child to participate.  Online consent can be given here: https://fortworthisd.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3JFAcaASTprQZXE..

A Kaleidoscope of Colors- Fine Arts Day 2022 is Friday, March 4 and In-Person!!

A Kaleidoscope of Colors- Fine Arts Day 2022 is Friday, March 4 and In-Person!!

As we enjoy our camp activities, it is hard not to look around at the Kaleidoscope of Colors in the world. Get ready to celebrate that kaleidoscope at our annual Fine Arts Day!! We are SO excited to be able to continue this tradition and spend the day celebrating the arts. This is a can’t miss event and it is not possible without your support!! We currently need empty water bottles (soda bottles are too hard) and acrylic paint of ALL colors (can be almost empty bottles)

  • We have had an overwhelming response in day-of volunteers, thank you! 

  • We still NEED help setting up on Thursday, March 3rd. We would love volunteers to help Thursday, March 3 from 4 until whenever. If you can’t get there until 5 or 5:30, please come. IF you can only come for an hour, please come. We have a lot of art to hang and get on the walls. This is where the magic happens so come be a part of the fun! Unfortunately the kiddos should be left at home (unless they are of the high school age and then we like their energetic, helping hands. They can earn volunteer hours needed for certain student organizations.  We need you to volunteer to make this day happen. 

  • Lunch Volunteers – We provide you lunch, and you stay in the classrooms with the students while the teachers eat. You also take them to recess or tour the outdoor decorations, weather permitting. You are needed from approximately 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This is a great way to see what we do without having to make a full-day commitment! No younger siblings are allowed to attend with you. 

  • Each volunteer must have a clear background check for 2021-2022! No exceptions will be made. Background checks must be completed by Friday, Feb. 4. Need to do yours? Click here to complete: https://www.fwisd.org/Page/360

  • After the tardy bell rings, non-volunteers will have to leave the building. Non-volunteers are not allowed to visit at lunch time on this day.
