Thank You Isbell PTA Parents
We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our Isbell Parents! Thank you so much for donating cookies last week and sodas! We love the cookies and it is great for those of us that do not have time to bake or don’t know how. The sodas are very appreciated this time of year. Normally we have a machine but FISD is changing vendors from Coca Cola to Dr. Pepper and during the transition we are without our beloved caffeine machine.

Artwork Wanted
If you love to draw and paint, then this project is for you!!! The Isbell Library is looking for amazing artwork to help decorate the library walls!! If you would like your artwork featured in the Isbell Library, please read the guidelines below:
Library Art Guidelines:
All artwork must have a “reading theme”. For example: it could be the cover of your favorite book or just a picture that shows that reading can take you places. Get creativity!
· The artwork needs to be on a 16 x 20 sized canvas. You can
purchase the canvas at any local art store (Hobby Lobby, Michaels etc).
· There is no deadline for this project, we will display the artwork as they come in!
· Turn your artwork in to Mrs. Beathard when finished!
I’m looking forward to seeing your art come to life in the Library!
