Check out this amazing work by Emerson Elementary teacher Erich Boldt.We love sharing our students' works of art with you but today we wanted to highlight the talents of Emerson Elementary art teacher extraordinaire Erich Boldt. "Last Relief", Erich's latest collection of oil paintings, debuts tonight at the Pump House Regional Arts Center artist reception. Life is busy and stressful so Erich created these pieces hoping that they can help bring a little sense of relief to those who need it. "Last Relief" will be displayed in the Pump House's Balcony Gallery through November 16. Please stop down and take a look at the full collection. More information about the reception can be found here: bit.ly/2SXbrJB ... See MoreSee Less

🍎 It's time to shine the #sdlax spotlight on another member of our district family. Chelsey Willms is a new cross-categorical special education teacher at Northside Elementary/Coulee Montessori.

"My advice for students would be to invest in yourself by investing in your education no matter how hard it is at times. Don't let a person or a label define who you are, explore the world and choose who you want to be, who you want to become. Search for answers through experiences. Challenge knowledge that is being presented to you by asking questions to seek understanding. Continue to seek ways to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Contribute to humanity through your words, thoughts, and actions and leave this world, leave yourself, better than you find it in each moment, each day, through these things as they are all in your control and they are all a choice, YOURS!"

Please help welcome Chelsey with a comment below. ... See MoreSee Less
