Plastic Cap Art
Beautification January 17th
Please Read the following letter from Rachel Quaintance regarding Plastic Cap Art
Hello 4th grade families!
On Friday our cap project comes to a close and we will do the project on Saturday, Jan. 17th, Beautification Day. I am really looking forward to it! Here are some details and information for you:
Friday is the last day to bring in caps. Thank you so much for all the collecting you've done!
The kids did artwork this Tuesday that will be incorporated into the mural, I have it and will bring on Saturday.
Beautification is 9 am - 3 pm. I'll be there all day, if you have a screw gun/drill, please bring it (with battery charged!)
We will need kids to count the caps (doesn't sound exciting, but it has to be done!)
Kids can use a drill and the liquid nails ONLY IF A PARENT IS PRESENT. While I love the idea of all kids getting a chance to drill and really work, a parent has to be there to supervise.
We have 2 large boards (one 4x8 and one 4x6) and one small board (4x2) that will hang out on the play yard.
You can come at any time of the day! Since the design is already done and painted on (it'll be like painting by numbers - except with caps and screw guns), it will be a lot of drilling. The kids will have the opportunity to help design the beginning part of the mural (they know what I mean) and we have to write a blurb about the project that will hang next to it.
Karen is getting all of the supplies we need from the City of WeHo.
The "cost" of the project is this: 2 plywood boards - given to us by Karen from her warehouse= $0. Approximately 8,000 caps collected by everyone and their mother (literally! my mom mailed me bags of caps!) - $0. Paint - already owned =$0
Screws/Ubolts - donated by the city = $0 So, all told, ZERO DOLLARS! And, lots of recycled materials!
I hope to see you Saturday! -Rachel
