October 2024
Dear Community,
We have made it to October! I want to thank the Art Guild, the art parents, and the college representatives for making Third Coast possible. We had a productive, amazing event. We are so lucky to have such talented 11th and 12th graders. The work looked impressive throughout the department, including the printmaking room, the multipurpose room and the ceramics room. We are fully underway with our Sophomore/Junior buddies and the Freshmen/Senior buddies events on Fridays during journal time. The underclassmen were able to talk to their partners and learn more about Third Coast. We also got to share work with the underclassmen before we took everything down.
Mr. Gray has met with students and parents who were interested in the Europe trip for Summer 2026. If anyone else has inquiries about this special and unique opportunity, please email him.
Mr. Gray will also be in charge of this year's Middle School Workshops and training our current students to help out with this. Workshops are November 2 and 16.
Please help us return all of our fieldtrip forms for our big fieldtrip that is at the end of October. I am excited to have a department wide, all-day fieldtrip and to work with local art professionals. This should be a fun-filled day.
Thank you to our wonderful art aides who help with daily tasks and keeping us organized in the department.
The sophomore show comes down soon. It recieved lots of compliments. It was up during our Third Coast Event and Carnaval. The next show is class-based and will feature specific classes across all grade levels. This show will be up during the all school musical!
Sincerely,
Mr. Waddell
