Faustworks Mask Theatre

Faustworks Mask Theatre performed for grades 1-6 in December. This one-man show celebrated the history and many uses of masks and highlighted our use of body language and “figurative masks” (work clothes, make up, etc.) in our everyday lives. What’s more, it was very, very funny. Ask your child about this assembly!

Family Art Night

The December Family Art Night, Let It Snow, brought out the artist in all who attended! Large pieces of black butcher paper paired with a variety of white art materials were transformed into winter landscapes, cotton ball snowmen, blizzards and more. These whimsical creations decked the downstairs hallways of Roosevelt bringing seldom seen snow to another fabulous Santa Barbara winter!
