Submitted by angela.killian on

Mt. Loafer Elementary's Art Specialist is Mrs. Kris Bluth. Kris is an important part of the students education experience. She is teaching that artistic education is part of being a well-rounded person.

It is not uncommon for parents to eat breakfast with their children, though they usually do it at home.  But on October 17th, from 8:00-9:00 a.m., we invite you to join us to snack on doughnuts, sip milk, and read stories with your children.  Twice a year, Mt. Loafer's PTO sponsors this event.  The aim is encouraging more parental participation at the school.  This event strengthens the home-school connection, so come join us!!
