BMES Art and Music Showcase
Storybook Character Ornaments
In other news, Mrs. Prats is seeking the opportunities for the students to showcase their art work in the form of a storybook character ornament! If you would like to participate, pick your favorite storybook character and create an ornament to resemble the character. Your ornament needs to be an original creation (no store bought characters). Our committee will judge the ornaments and choose the 3 most creative ornaments; prizes will be awarded to the top 3! We will keep the ornaments to put on our tree and send all ornaments home before the break, so you can add them to your tree. We cannot wait to see what you create! Ornaments may be brought to the library Monday, November 28- Friday, December 9th. If you have questions, please email Mrs. Prats at kprats@ycsd.york.va.us
