We are still looking for some parent helpers to volunteer their time to get into the classroom with the kiddos and talk about a work of art followed by a fun activity. This is something we've done monthly in the past, the volunteers can work together or split the months between them. There will be an informational meeting to give you all the details to get you started. Please sign-up through the Membership Toolkit.
