Elementary School
Carrillo Elementary School program
This is the first year SGAA has offered a continuing program for elementary school students. Carrillo Elementary is in the Barrio Viejo and serves 70% minority students; each week, 12 students (total of 36 students) walked to SGAA for a one hour program in our Warm Shop with Alysa Phiel. We worked with 1-2 grade students from October-December (2nd quarter), 3-5 grade students from January-March, and 4-5 grade students from March-May. Each student made 7-8 different projects in fusing, slumping, and mosaics during 8-10 weeks of classes. Projects ranged from wind chimes, to Valentine’s Day projects, to mosaic trivets, to potted fused glass cacti.
Grijalva Elementary School program
Through TUSD’s GATE (gifted education) Program, SGAA has seen a variety of elementary schools for one-day programs over the last 2 years. Grijalva Elementary School serves predominantly minority, low income students and this December, SGAA did a one-day program for 30 students in our Hot Shop and Warm Shop. Many of these students were returning to SGAA for the second time; several were here for the first time. Students split into groups of 15 and made Blow Your Own Ornaments and mosaic trivets.
Hughes Elementary School program
Also through TUSD’s GATE (gifted education) Program, SGAA has seen Hughes Elementary School for the second year in a row. Hughes serves 17% minority, 40% low income students and this December, SGAA did 3, one-day programs for a total of 89 students in our Hot Shop and Warm Shop. Many of these students were returning to SGAA for the second time; several were here for the first time. Each day, students split into groups of 14-16 and made Blow Your Own Ornaments, Slump Your Own Plates, and mosaic trivets.
Drachman Montessori Magnet School (TUSD) programs
For the first time, SGAA worked with Drachman Montessori School classes in our Hot Shop and Warm Shop. On March 8, Drachman brought 25 Title 1, 1-3 grade students for Hot Shop demonstrations and hands-on activities in our Warm Shop. We hope this will be the beginning of ongoing programs with this school, as they are located in close proximity to SGAA.
McCorkle Elementary School program
Through TUSD’s GATE (gifted education) Program, SGAA will host McCorkle students for the first time in May 2012. McCorkle Elementary School serves predominantly minority, low income students. SGAA will do a one-day program for 23 students in our Hot Shop and Warm Shop. Students will split into groups of 11-12 and made Blow Your Own Ornaments and mosaic trivets.
Barrio Santa Rosa Neighborhood Center programs
BSRNC offers after school programs for low income, minority elementary-high school students. We have provided programming to BSRNC at various times over the last 3 years. This year, 26 BSRNC middle school students came to SGAA twice in October and November. In October, students completed mosaic trivets during a 2.5 hour session in our Warm Shop; in November, students did Blow Your Own Ornaments in our Hot Shop.
Einar & Jamex de la Torre: Residency Related Classes
In March 2012, Einar & Jamex came to SGAA for a 2-week Artist in Residency program, including artist studio time in exchange for classes and demos taught to SGAA students. During this time, the brothers provided demonstrations for Carrillo Elementary School and Drachman Montessori School students.
