Congratulations to Lilly Young, winner of this year’s cover art contest! 💙🐬 Her design was inspired by our school theme, You Belong Here, and Dogwood’s iconic geometric mural in the main hallway. We love seeing our students’ creativity shine! ✨

🎨♻️ Calling all creative kids! This summer, students will turn everyday materials into amazing works of art at our Art & Recycling Camp at Dogwood Elementary School!

From tie-dye and mosaics to handmade recycled paper and nature-inspired earthworks, campers will explore how creativity and sustainability go hand-in-hand — and yes, it’s going to get a little messy in the best way. 🌎✨

🗓 May 26–29
⏰ K–2: 9:00–12:00
⏰ Grades 3–6: 12:30–3:30
💲 $200

Students will bring in some recyclable items from home and spend the week creating, experimenting, and thinking outside the box. Campers should bring a snack, water bottle, and lunch each day.

Spots are limited — register on SchoolCashOnline! 🎨

We’re getting ready for our next group of kindergarten students at Dogwood Elementary School 💙

If your child is starting kindergarten this fall, be sure to sign up for our Kindergarten Orientation this summer. This is a great opportunity for students and families to learn routines, meet staff, and walk into the first day feeling confident.
