Our sidewalks got a Fratt makeover yesterday! 🎨☀️ For Art Day, our Falcons took their creativity outside and transformed the sidewalks with colorful chalk masterpieces! From silly drawings and games to bright designs and sweet messages, the playground was FULL of imagination and happy smiles. 🌈🖍️ Who knew sidewalks could look this fancy? 😎✨

4K Mrs. Woods’ class had the best time with this one! 🪁✨ After reading Kite Day by Will Hillenbrand, our students learned a fun new word… “constructed!” So of course, we had to try it ourselves! Our students constructed their own kites using plastic grocery bags and yarn, and then took them outside to fly during recess 🎨💨 Safe to say… it was ALL smiles, lots of laughs, and pure joy in the air 💛😊

🎨✨ Our Fratt Falcons are shining beyond our school walls! ✨🎨 We are so proud to share that several of our talented students are featured in the Racine Unified Student Art Exhibition at the Wustum Museum of Fine Arts from May 6–23! The opening reception was held today, where students had the chance to showcase their incredible artwork alongside their families and art teachers 💛 👏 Shoutout to our featured artists: • Gianni Rodriguez (1st grade) • Messiah Davis (2nd grade) • Tristan Huefner (4th grade) • Serena Greenberger (5th grade) • Amani Rivera (5th grade) • Elijah Villarreal (5th grade) Your creativity, hard work, and talent make us so proud, way to represent Fratt! 🖌️🦅 Be sure to check out their amazing work if you get a chance! #FrattFalcons #StudentArtists #RUSDproud
