Bringing Literature and SEL to Life Through Shadow Puppetry with Daniel Barash! Grades preK-4. Also a Free NMArt PD Workshop for SFPS Teachers! This event is on Tuesday, March 28th from 4-7 at SITE Santa Fe! In this workshop, participants first learn about shadow puppetry as an art form, including performance and puppet-making techniques. They then discuss the reasons why shadow puppetry is such an effective strategy when exploring Social Emotional Learning concepts. Finally, they combine shadow puppetry and Social Emotional Learning teaching objectives by learning to facilitate hands-on shadow puppetry experiences inspired by children’s literature that enhance SEL strategies in the classroom.

Police in several states, including New Mexico, are investigating reports of school safety threats today. A similar threat was made to Santa Fe High School this afternoon, and police were dispatched to Capital High School as a precaution. There is nothing to substantiate the threat, which appears to be a hoax, as we do not have students on campus today due to Parent Teacher Conferences. Santa Fe Police have been visiting sites across the district as a precautionary measure.
Due to weather and road conditions, tonight girls basketball games are postponed to Thursday, 2/16 (C-team- 4:00, JV - 5:30, V - 7:00).

Full day Pre-K programs are also on a two hour delay. Morning Pre-K programs have been canceled. Afternoon Pre-K programs will operate on a regular schedule.
