Good Morning Gardiner Hawks! These are your announcements for Tuesday, March 19th

Please remember that backpacks need to stay in the neighborhoods at all times. Each neighborhood is designed with cubbies to store your items, but learning spaces throughout the building don’t have space.  Staff will ask you to take your backpack to your neighborhood if they see you out and about with it. If a backpack is found outside of the learning neighborhoods it will be taken to the office and you can pick it up at the end of the day.

We want to make sure everyone knows there IS school TOMORROW, March 20th.  Our planners have an error that shows no school for conferences.  There is school on March 20th, AND there are conferences, but just in the evening.

Do you enjoy making art and seeing your ideas come to life? Do you enjoy working on computers and creating digital media?  A career as an animator might be right for you!​​ Animators create a series of images that form the animation seen in movies, commercials, television programs, and video games. They typically concentrate on a specific area, such as characters, scenery, or background design. Animators typically use computer software to do their work. They are members of a team that consists of other animators and artists who collaborate on projects.

Animators’ responsibilities  include:

• Creating expressive character animations portraying a wide range of emotions

• Give and receive constructive, creative feedback across teams

• Collaborate with other animators, clients, and producers

• Brainstorm and conceptualize ideas, and produce concept sketches

Education to become an animator includes a bachelor's degree in animation, computer graphics, fine arts, or a related discipline. 

Animators earn an average salary of $70,000 a year. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that employment of accountants will grow 8 percent due to an increased demand for more realistic animation and visual effects in video games, movies and television, as well as more advanced computer graphics for mobile devices such as smartphone
