Join us March 9th at 8:45am via Zoom for the March PPA Meeting where we will be continuing our "Pathfinder Faculty Series" with Art Teacher Ivy Ratliff. What does art instruction look like across all grades? Why is art so important to a child's education and development? How is art incorporated across much of a child's education at Pathfinder.

Miss Ivy began her adventure with The Pathfinder School as a Summer Camp counselor and resident mermaid. Throughout those summers, and to this day she studies art with an emphasis on salvaged materials discovered in funny places, and looks to the forests and shorelines for inspiration and materials. She studied Child and Family Development at Western Michigan University and will never stop learning about art. She is passionate about student-interest based learning and emergent curriculum, which she combines with stewardship and the natural world to develop dynamic art experiences.
