Please collect clean, plastic caps and lids of all sizes
and colors to bring to the art room for a special mural project at
our school. Classroom teachers will bring the caps to Mrs. Parker
each week when your child has art. We need thousands of caps and
lids! Thank you for your help.

Scarecrows Come to School!
Scarecrows joined our campus
last week.
They even went on a field trip
to Downtown Saltillo!
Fifth Grade enjoyed a Day of
Discovery with Dr. John Hunt.
Teaching with the
Arts
At Saltillo Elementary a different approach to traditional
teaching of content is taken. We provide an arts
integrated approach to teaching the curriculum. We know the
arts encourage learning as processes of discovery, thereby
prompting students to not only demonstrate their knowledge, but to
test and defend it. The arts also engage students in a way that is
more kinesthetic, and perhaps more emotionally satisfying.
Students registered in advance for
the mock election. They also voted
from all 50 states in the country.
ELECTION DAY 2012
Students at SES register and vote
for president!
PTO members helped work the
registration desk.
