ART Calendars:
Parents/ Guardians,
The Art Department is selling Art Calendars, as a fundraiser, this year, 2016.
My Art I & Art II students have worked hard on their 1 and 2 point perspective drawings of various businesses throughout the Shelby County area, such as 6th & Main Coffee House, Old Stone Inn, Wakefield-Scearce, and many more.
Art Calendars are $10 each, with all funds raised going Directly to the Art Department, to purchase clay and sculpture equipment and materials. My goal is build the clay and sculpture program here at Collins into one that rivals the top 1% in the State of Kentucky. With your help, the community and the school district, we have a chance in doing that.
Calendars may be purchased in the front office, my classroom room 129, or by emailing me directly at matt.cockrell@shelby.kyschools.us.

2016 Reel Action Video Contest:
2016 Reel Action Video Contest
Deadline January 22, 2016 at midnight
I wanted to let everyone know that our Reel Action Video Contest is starting. This contest is for youth age 12-17 (18 as long as a senior in high school) where the youth make a 28 second PSA to combat underage drinking. You can access more information by going to the website www.reelactionky.com . Please distribute this to your contacts and encourage your youth groups to participate. These videos can be made by a single person or several students. There are great prizes to be won including certain videos will be selected to be played on MTV, BET, ESPN and other television stations. If you have any questions let me know. Many health, technology, and government teachers across the region have been using this as a grade for their students to show their creativity and get involved in doing something good for their community and school. Make sure students submit the video and answer the survey.
Don't forget about the Policy and Advocacy category (let lawmakers and school officials know about strengthening underage drinking laws) last year we had no entries for this category in which someone could have won.
Contact Craig Phillips for more information: (502)439-9325 or cphillips@sevencounties.org
