Welcome!         

Benjamin Davis and Leon Sheffield Magnet Elementary Schools (Formerly Gordon-Bibb & Benjamin Davis Magnet Elementary Schools)

Fall Events

So many plans -- so little time!!

This year we will be creating artwork that will go under the theme of the Ocean. With the oil spill in the Gulf and the clean-up effort, I felt the need to use our artwork, not only as a creative outlet but as a means to raise funds to help our environment. We will be working with the Carnegie Visual Arts Center and other art educators across the city to have a four day art show/art sale in early October. This will be a great service project for students across the system. The specific dates in October and where the funds will go will be forth coming.

Our PTA fundraiser with Square 1 Art is kicking off these last few days of August. This is a great fundraiser where ALL the students get a sheet of stickers with their artwork printed on it for free when they get their order form. All orders will be returned in time for Christmas and make great original gifts!

The theme this year is - the Ocean. At Ben. Davis I have read the book Sea Squares by Joy N. Hulme to give them some ideas about the image they wanted to create. Leon Sheffield students will have many visuals to view to get their imaginations flowing.

Our deadline to mail our work is October 1.

Creative Crew

Forms are being given out and the deadline is September 1. Please see the file at the bottom of the page to print a copy if your child did not bring one home. We will meet on Friday afternoons from 1:45 - 2:30 in the Fall semester only.
