After three days of taking the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) 5th grade students at Graves were given a refreshing break from academic pressure while promoting emotional well-being, creativity, and meaningful self-expression through an art activity presented at the HABLA institute. The 5th grade team at Graves introduced the focus question "Think about what makes you happy" and had students create a mood board full of images, colors, and textures that capture a specific feeling or style.

The 3rd grade students at Graves School recently read a story called Trombone Shorty, which takes place in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Mrs. Raczynski and Mrs. Dysart have friends, Joel Randazzo Forjet and Felix Forjet Jr. who live in the area and own a bakery called Nonna Randazzo's Bakery. To make the story even more special, they donated a delicious King Cake for all the 3rd graders to try. It was a wonderful way to end the story and bring a taste of Mardi Gras to the class.
