 Gallery Night

Save the Date!!! Dixon’s Annual Gallery Night where we display the art work of our students in a gallery like setting is Tuesday, April 30th from 6pm-8pm. We hope to see you there.

 High Interest Day

High Interest Day Needs You!

Our all-school High Interest Day will take place on Friday, May 17th. In the morning we have parents and/or community leaders come in to talk about their career. It’s a 45-minute session between 10am-11am and all careers are wanted and welcome. If you are not able to come and talk about your own career but have a friend, neighbor, or family member that you think the students would be interested in hearing from, please let us know. We’d be happy to reach out. Examples include, but are not limited to: Mechanic, Doctor, Lawyer, Graphic Design, Veterinarian, etc…

We are also looking for people to lead workshops teaching a hobby or sharing other interests and talents. Do you like building sculptures with duct tape or making kindness rocks? Can you juggle or play bucket drums? If you can’t think of anything yourself, we also have ideas for craft workshops that just require a leader. Please contact Sara Monty for more information and/or to volunteer at sarameengsmonty@aol.com or 262-439-8244.
