The Friday Update
Weekly News and Updates for the Fine Arts Faculty of PCSD
Happy Friday
**PLEASE NOTE - in the coming days, there will be several things I need immediate action on and responses. I will try to make those obvious in my notes to you. Deadlines are looming, calendared events are coming closer whether we are ready or not, and this year is off and running true to form - faster than we can catch it. Thank you in advance!
Thank you for all you do everyday. I know you are overwhelmed already! You are the ones that make the difference in the students' lives every single day. You can't stop - it is only August 24!
Let's make it a great year!!!
Katie
Thank You, Rachel Robinette (Panter/New GA Art) for Your Inspirational Quote This Week - Katie Anderson Needed it!
ELEMENTARY MUSIC ONLY
HARD Deadline for submitting names and money to Katie is October 31! There will be an online RevTrak option this year for parents who are interested. We will absorb the cost so it will not cost them more to use that service. More details to come closer to time.
High School Visual Art Only
I need the following ASAP (these details before August 31 would be ideal and as long as I get the artwork by August 31, that would be fine):
- Dimensions of the work (2 per HS) - NO LARGER THAN 18x18 - ANY size within those parameters. Matboards will be custom so I need the dimensions soon so I can order those in time.
- Name of artist
- Grade of artist
- Medium of Work
The letter to send home with students for the September 11 Board Meeting (where we will recognize those artists for their work) is attached at the bottom of this newsletter. it is entitled "High School Congratulations Information Notice for Students"

2018 Performing and Visual Arts College Fair
I WILL NOT be able to do this alone. If you have several students planning to go, please plan to join me in the endeavor. Go ahead and begin advertising this to your students so we can get the word out.
**STUDENTS MUST GO TO THE WEBSITE AND REGISTER BEFORE ATTENDING!! PLEASE GUIDE THEM TO DO THAT ASAP - This is a VERY popular event and gets full quickly!!
- Teachers, please compile a list of students from your school who ARE REGISTERED and planning to ride with us.
- I will put a field trip request together closer to the event so I have a fairly good idea of how many students (and teachers) will be riding with us. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend as well (they may follow our buses).
If you have any questions, please let me know!
