We are fortunate to be able to invite experts in the field of Drama, Poetry, Cooking, and Art to share their skills, insights and passion with us. Our parent group sponsors regularly scheduled visits by an actress, a poet, a chef, and an artist.

The entire school plays with drama for several weeks. An actress visits each of the classrooms to open up new worlds to us. During the final day of Drama, each class shares with the other classes a sample of their group's creative acting through an informal performance. FUN! 

We annually invite a poet to share her talent with words for a few weeks with our older students. The Community School library contains published student poetry on its shelves which dates back numerous years. There is a published book of poems from each year that our poet has returned to work with us. Our older students also host an artist. They explore and discover color and shapes in a whole new way.

Each of our classes are visited through the year by "our chef". Holly Smith of Cafe Juanita fame has partnered with our school through the Chefs to Schools Program to teach our students about good nutritional habits and wise consumer decisionmaking along with her wonderful cooking lessons in our kitchen.

Each year, both the children and the teachers look forward with anticipation towards the drama, poetry, cooking, and art lessons offered by these practitioners who are also talented educators who enjoy working with children.
