FROM OUR
SCHOOL
F.A.M.E. (Fine Arts Mini-Experience) Created and introduced by Bay Area teacher and
resident, Kathryn Sherrod, Fine Arts Mini Experience is designed to add a Fine
Art curriculum to the K-8th school program. For our campus, it is equivalent to
an “in-house” assembly program financially supported by OSLS P.T.O. and
presented by volunteer parents assisting our F.A.M.E. coordinator, Jayne Managan.
Currently there are three
programs held each year introducing the entire student body to an accomplished
composer and his/her style of music and historical setting, and an artist with
his/her technique and artistic medium. Each classroom is treated to its own
forty minute, grade appropriate presentation given in a very lively
first-person style, incorporating class participation, hands-on art work, and
follow up information for home. More information on F.A.M.E. can be found on
its website at www.fameforkids.com
This year FAME program
includes:
●OCTOBER:
Water Lilies by Claude Monet & "The Swan" from Carnival
of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens
●JANUARY:
The Fifer by Edouard Manet
& Stars & Stripes Forever by John Phillip Sousa
●MAY:
George Washington by Gilbert Stuart & Star Spangled Banner by
Francis Scott Key
CHAPEL: Come!

Our theme for the year is Come!
Grow with Us. Under that
theme we have different emphases each month such as “planting”, “roots”, “nourishment”,
“growth”, “examples”, “growth stunters”, “the cure”, and “blooming and harvesting”.
Join us for a lively time of
worship. You can act like a child and no
one will notice!
There is a new resource on the web which houses a
collection of LCMS Pastor Sermons at the Lutheran Devotional Corner. Their web address is http://lutherandevotionalcorner.info.
The intention of the site is
to offer church members a place to use sermons as devotions, but also to allow
those who are homebound and have Internet access to have a means of worship and
devotion as well.
