Department of Early Childhood hosts family literacy event “Coloring Your World through Blue Skies” on April 24 at Rocky Mountain Elementary from 4:00-5:30 p.m.

Join the Department of Early Childhood for this experiential art and reading event with local author, Lulu Buck. Our youngest learners are invited to paint during the hands-on art experience, “Design Your Own Sky.” Children will walk away with a small painting to remind them of their uniqueness and the importance of accepting people around them. While students are painting, parents will receive an overview of five lessons to help support their child with safe spaces, bias, anti-bullying, acceptance, identity, community, and teamwork.

For questions regarding this event, please contact Early Childhood Community Liaison, Bertha Olivares, at olivares_bertha@svvsd.org or call 303-702-8370.
