Hendricks Students
Need Your Voice
There are two very important issues regarding the Hendricks community that need the support of everyone concerned with their child's future education. A good or adequate outcome is NOT expected without the voice of our school.
First and foremost, the anticipated $97 million DCPS shortfall will undoubtedly affect Hendricks - what that will be has yet to be decided. Please read more about it at hendrickspta.com and discover what YOU can do about it. Later in April at a time TBA, Hendricks' prinicipal, B.R. Rhoads, will host a evening parent meeting to discuss the budget and its effects on Hendricks.
Secondly, the issue of Landon's Priority One process is being loudly challenged by several elementary gifted magnet schools from other areas of the city. This could mean fewer spots at Landon for Hendricks applicants unless we speak up to the school board now! A group of concerned parents/guardians are planning a visit to the monthly School Board meeting on May 3. Please contact Mark or Alicia MacLean to express your interest in joining this cause. |

E-Ea gles Tips
FMAN Produced Lots of Green Tips
The E-Eagles had a table at Family Arts and Music Night where students and parents could add a "green tip" to a leaf to put on the E-Eagle tree. We got lots of great ideas to reduce, reuse and recycle including: turn off the water when you brush your teeth, plant a tree, turn off lights/TV/computers when you are finished, donate used clothing, recycle plastics and paper and many more. Stop by the cafeteria to see our lovely tree full of environmental tips.

Art Club at Family Music and Arts Night
Nearly 80 students submitted outstanding works of art and literature for Art Club's Second Annual Art & Literature Contest! We hope that you all had the chance to view them at the school's recent Family Music and Arts Night (FMAN.) In case you missed them, some of artwork will be featured on jenniesgallery.com.
Jenniesgallery.com is the website for one of our esteemed judges of the contest, Jennie Szaltis. Jennie is a talented Jacksonville watercolorist and teaches many classes at Gallery Framing on Hendricks Avenue. Also judging the contest's art category was Hendricks Art Teacher Julie Harris and Chrys Yates, Art Educator at the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens. We were also very fortunate to have Susanna Barton, editor of the San Marco Resident and Mark Woods, Florida Times-Union columnist, judge the literature portion of our contest.

A huge round of applause goes to all who participated in the Art Club Scavenger Hunt during FMAN. All students who completed the scavenger hunt were placed in a drawing to win a museum membership. Congratulations to Taylor B. who received a membership to the Cummer Museum of Art and to Gracie P, who received a membership to the Jacksonville Museum of Contemporary Art.
As we are nearing the end of the school year, we have already begun to think about next year's Art Club. We are on the look out for folks who love art as much as we - and the kids - do! Please contact us with your ideas and your willingness to help. To find out more about any of PTA Art Club's incredible programs and to volunteer, please contact Art Club Co-Chairs Alejandra Cole or Dana Wilkins.
