Did you know that Wednesday, September 15 is International Dot Day? FFES students are getting into the action by creating and displaying their artwork and wearing dots and circles to celebrate this special day. Students in grades ranging from kindergarten to fourth grade are practicing their artistic skills and receiving inspiration based on the book “The Dot” by Peter Reynolds, which focuses on themes of creativity, bravery, and self expression.

We are also including a fun video that participating students are viewing to understand the story a bit better and learn about the purpose of the book. If you have a few minutes, give it a view! Click here to access this fun video.
