As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

Pinatas! What FUN!


The kids have been having a blast with one of our latest projects! We love to play with gooey and messy things, so of course creating with paper mache was fun! Students learned this art process over 3 days and worked hard at properly layering the many sheets of newspaper over their balloon. This was great for patience as students had to wait each day for it to dry before applying the next layer. We couldn't wait to see what happened when the balloon inside was popped and removed!





Students used their imaginations to brainstorm different things to make out of their paper mache creations. Many decided to make colorful hats and some decided to make bowls! What great ideas they have and what incredible paper mache hats they made!


A very special Thank You to Sharline, a HO4K's mom who spent 3 mornings patiently working with our students on their paper mache projects! She was awesome! We are so lucky to have so many great parents who are always willing to help out.
