Magazines Needed for the Art Room!
The art room needs magazines for different projects. We could use your help and it could help you do some de-cluttering We are looking for a variety of magazines to cut pictures from for projects. Cooking, gardening, National Geographic (my favorite!) are excellent resources, however, we are appreciative of any magazines. Just drop them off in the art room. Thanks!
