Kinderswim Day 1






New Expansion Project Fundraiser - March 25-27 & April 1-3

New Expansion Project Fundraiser - March 25-27 & April 1-3

At first this was slated for just March 26, but it has expanded to two week-ends in a partnership with GraceArtsLive performers and staff: Telesis Families and Friends are invited to a concert by Eric Kunze (pronounced "Koon-zee") and Gina De Luca, students of none other than our very own Grace Ann, who has offered to share a portion of the profits of 6 concerts to assist with our Expansion Project. Eric and Gina run Big City Broadway, which is affiliated with C.C.A., the California Conservatory of the Arts, a pre-professional training ground in the arts for talented young people, grades six through twelve. They have performed on Broadway and produce a concert of Broadway hits called "Broadway's Best." That is the concert they will perform on stage at GraceArtsLive theatre with one difference: Eric has offered to come to Telesis to teach Intermediate students several back-up songs that, with parental permission, they will accompany him on stage. Check out Eric's website at www.erickunze.com. Tickets will sell for $25 for adults and $12.50 for children.

Balloons over Havasu



The students were lucky enough to catch a glimse of the balloons that flew over Telesis but I did not get a clear picture so I will use this one my mom took over the lake. The kids were so excited that their writing prompt for the day was tell me your favorite balloon. :)

Friends



We Love our kindergarten friends. These pictures were taken during morning meeting. :)
