Class Traditions to be Auctioned
Kindergarten Class Tradition: "Come Sit with Me"
“Come sit with me awhile,” my child asked of me,
For now he’s five years old and longs for me to be,
By his side each day, and kissing him at night,
Before I know it he’ll be grown and not in daily sight.
I’ll always have our bench, where we used to talk and rest,
Holding tender memories while he was in my nest.”
This handcrafted bench was made with love and care from our sweet kindergarteners. The bench was constructed from a single slab of Sequoia and aligned at the joint to follow the grain as if the wood was bent and not cut. The slab of Sequoia came from a local resident that made part of the tree into a large table and the rest was kindly donated for community use. Our children painted their favorite part of nature and signed their work on a tile which has been thoughtfully placed within the bench.
The bench is currently unfinished and the winning bidder can choose their custom finish for indoor or outdoor use which will be done at Bay Area Redwood. The custom finish also includes a tour of the Bay Area Redwood facility.
Hold on to this special time and reminisce about it for years to come while taking a rest on this stunning bench “Handcrafted with Love” by our St. Perpetua Kindergarten class.
2nd Grade Class Tradition: "Rooted in Love"
“Our family is like the branches of a tree. We may grow in our own directions, yet our roots remain as one.” Our 2nd grade class is rooted in love, and the children blossom as their fingerprints form the leaves of their Class Family Tree. It’s been said that the roots of a family tree begin with the love of two hearts – in this case, many hearts and two wise owls – Mrs. Heiskell and Mrs. O’Sullivan! Serve up your next celebratory meal with a handcrafted piece created by your own child and the entire 2nd grade class! This one-of-a-kind, 18-inch square ceramic serving platter can be used for birthdays, special occasions or as a piece of art hung on your wall. What a special keepsake for your child and family to remember this 2nd grade “family” and deep-rooted bonds for years to come.
3rd Grade Class Tradition: "Whose Broad Stripes and Bright Stars"
Our very own 3rd graders’ unique rendition of the American flag is a beautiful piece of original art that will grace your walls forever. This timely and patriotic view of America’s most treasured symbol comes from the proud hearts of the 3rd grade and captures their allegiance to our flag in an interpretation like no other. The 3x4 foot canvas in acrylic paint has an amazing layered texture to it and is signed by each artist. So proudly display your love of America with this heartfelt symbol.
7th Grade Class Tradition: "Peace Pole"
Planting a Peace Pole is a way of bringing people together to inspire, awaken, and uplift the human consciousness. It reminds us to think, speak and act in the spirit of peace and harmony. Our 7th grade students have come together to create this magical addition for your garden. Their artwork symbolizes their hopes and dreams and is a timeless monument of peace. Our weatherproof Peace Pole is over 9 ft tall with 8 ft of artistic design by your 7th grade students. It is adorned with a matching solar lighted topper. Place it anywhere outdoors for a colorful and meaningful treasure.
