Some of those amaz-
ing things include de-
signs with fabric from
a student interested in
fashion design, abstract
designs and interpreta-
tions of other works of art
and construction projects
from kindergarteners.
Jaime simply beamed as
she showed off her stu-
dents' hard work and ar-
tistic expression.
Jaime said that while
some students take
hours, days and even
weeks to polish a very de-
liberate work of art, oth-
ers accidentally create
something very special.
One student in particu-
lar tried to make a clay
peace sign, but when it
was in the kiln, another
project exploded and de-
bris got stuck to her art.
"She came up and said,
'something happened'...
and I said 'I was going
to tell you about that
because kilns are very
unpredictable and that's
part of learning about
clay,'" Jaime said. "I
asked 'what do you think
about how it looks now?'
and she said it just looks
all broken, and then she
gets this look on her face
and says, 'it's kind of like
the world,' and I thought

Book fair
Continued from page B-1
The students used
their theme to transform
the library into a spooky
graveyard.
"They wanted to turn
the library into a grave-
yard with tombstones
and it was right before
Halloween," Roaf said.
"To make it more interac-
tive for the students, they
were required to pick a
scary book and read the
book."
Because an after-
school program is tech-
nicaUy an intermural
program, the students
were required to do mini
book reports and profile
a character from their
book, then become that
character during the fair.
The students also or-
ganized several contests,
including one that re-
quired their teachers to
dress up as zombies and
perform Michael Jack-
son's "Thriller" dance if
they raised more than
$2,500.
The fair raised $3,400,
60 percent of which the
school gets to keep, in ad-
dition to the $1,000 prize.
According to Roar, the
performance of "Thriller"
was a great reward for
all of the students' hard
work.
"It's hilarious," Roaf
said. "We're trying to see
how many YouTube hits
we can get."
