CERAMIC PAINTING
We were excited to have POET bring a Ceramic Painting class to NDPA!
This one time class was a chance for students to create an artistic piece and try something new!
We are partnered with Allen’s Ceramics in Ogden to offer ceramics painting.
This activity was held on September 9th from 3:15 to 4:15.
Vases will be taken to be fired and returned to the school to be taken home.

More details can be found on RIGHT HERE!

Orchestra instruments will include Violin, Viola, and Cello.
We will move forward with whichever group of instruments has more interest among the students.
Band lessons will be twice a week (on Tuesdays and Thursdays) for 45 minutes (3:15 to 4 pm).
HIP HOP CREW
We are excited to have our Hip Hop Crew ready to start this year as well. Come learn some hip hop moves and have fun making new friends.
Students will learn how to dance hip hop through drills, choreography, and free-styling exercises using age-appropriate music and moves.
Hip Hop will offer your student the opportunity to build their confidence, create a community and express themselves creatively. Students will explore dance and music in a supportive environment hosted by Ms. Naomi Campbell with the support of POET.
Hip Hop is open to all 7th to 9th graders – no prior experience is required!
This activity will take place on Fridays from 1:30 to 2:30 pm. Lessons will be held on October 2nd, October 9th, October 23rd, October 30th, November 6th, and November 13th.
Please ensure that your student wears comfortable, easy-to-move-in clothing. Baggy sweatpants and a loose T-shirt are popular choices for hip-hop but any standard athletic wear works great.
