Third-grade students have been exploring the art of shadow puppetry while integrating social studies concepts, focusing on Arizona’s Five C’s: cattle, copper, climate, citrus, and cotton. Each student selected one of the Five C’s and wrote an original script centered on their topic. They then designed and created their own shadow puppets and experimented with a variety of stage setups for their performances.

Throughout the project, students developed skills in dialogue writing, script development, and theatrical performance. They brought their stories to life by rehearsing and presenting their shadow puppet plays for one another, combining creativity with meaningful learning in both theatre and social studies.

For the second year in a row, Kellond Principal Angela Schiavone and her brother Frankie Schiavone, Principal of Bonillas Traditional Elementary Magnet School, went head-to-head in a friendly competition to raise the most food for this year’s food drive. Together, both schools collected an incredible 3,200 pounds of food for our community!

Angela takes the title for the second year in a row – earning eegee’s for the entire school!
