Encanto 1st grade teacher Michelle Doherty received one of only 250 awards from Target Field Trip Grants. In this nationwide grant, Michelle received full funding of $800. The beneficiaries of the grant will be all 141 first grade students. The grant will pay for a trip to the Herberger Theater for an experience of the magic of books and storytelling, while engaging the students in a hands-on exploratory art gallery designed for young children. The students will take this trip on April 9th.
The Great Arizona Puppet Theater performed “My Prehistoric Birthday” to all Encanto students in on January 12-16. The show was organized by Librarian Lori Sanders and funded in part by Tuition Tax Credits. Before the performance, the puppeteer spoke with the students about the hand and rod puppets made from carved Styrofoam, paper mache, paint and fur.. Students were entranced to watch the show, knowing that the puppeteer created all the voices.
