Check out this video about Art in Action 

Art in Action is our school’s art program, led by parent volunteers who bring monthly art lessons into the classroom. Students explore art history, appreciation, and techniques through engaging discussions and hands-on projects. No art experience is needed—volunteers receive training and step-by-step guides to help make each lesson a success.

PROJECT CORNERSTONE

Needs: Parent Volunteers (training and materials provided) -- Sign up HERE

Sign-up: Email pc@henryfordpta.org

The Asset Building Champions (ABC) program brings parent volunteers into classrooms each month to read books and lead activities that teach students important life skills like honesty, responsibility, and conflict resolution. The lessons provide a safe space for kids to talk about feelings, friendships, and peer pressure, while giving the whole school a shared language for handling challenges. Volunteers receive training and materials.

MAKERSPACE

Coordinator: Becky Foutch

Needs: Volunteer with your child's STEAM class or a STEAM Night Event.  

Sign-up: To volunteer or donate materials, email rfoutch@rcsdk8.net

The Makerspace is an expansion of the STEAM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Art/Math) opportunities that teachers provide in their classrooms.  The space cultivates creative ways for students to design, experiment, build and invent as they engage in science, engineering, art and tinkering. Our school has worked hard to expand STEAM programs knowing they provide opportunities for critical thinking, problem-solving, independence, agency and cooperative learning. 

GARDEN

Our students are lucky to have time in the garden, with a specialized garden teacher from Each Green Corner. Garden clean-up days are scheduled every month, on the last Saturday of each month, from 9a-12p. If you want to help out with the garden, email garden@henryfordpta.org.
