Community pride makes The Avenues’ neighborhoods extra special, and we want to create local art from a child’s perspective, highlighting favorite people or places. Submit a full color drawing by May 20, including name, age and school. Please email high resolution files as a JPG or PDF to info@theavenuesdsm. Or, drop off submissions to 671 37th Street. A box will be on the front porch. Submitted art may be used on local signage.

Reminder: Attention Fifth Graders Due May 10th
1. Art Project: Legacy Piece
The 5th grade gift is a wonderful opportunity to leave your mark on your elementary school! Each year 5th graders create a piece of artwork to be displayed in the halls of Hanawalt. This year, our methods of creation will look a little different but this should still be a piece of artwork that you are proud of.
- Think of your favorite memory at Hanawalt.. This might be your first day of school, a fieldtrip, a favorite memory with a teacher or a classmate, something you liked to draw while in the Art Studio, or even a random doodle that shows off some of your personality. Any of these things are the inspiration for our 5th grade gift. Your job is to create a design that shows your favorite memories or a design that represents you.
- This can be done with ANY material you have on hand: Pencil, colored pencil, marker, crayon, collage materials. This can be on ANY kind of paper that you have on hand, in any size.
- When you complete your design, you will need to take a picture of it and send it to Kenzie.debolt@dmschools.org by May 10th, 2020!
- When all of your designs are sent to me, they will be printed and collaged into a giant letter H to be hung in the office!
2. Video: Please email Mr. Surprenant (scot.surprenant@dmschools.org) by May 10th @ 4:00 pm.
