Art Program Fundraising
Dear Parents and LaMotte Supporters!
Thank you to everyone that attended the Art Auction and Spring Concert last week. That was a record turn-out and record setting support for the art program at LaMotte. The art gets better each year as the students learn more techniques and are exposed to more styles of expression.
Collectively, $5292.00 was donated at the auction. Amazing! The art program at LaMotte School is funded entirely from the proceeds of the art auction. Each child receives an hour of instruction from professional artists Chelsea and Richard Smith each week. The amount raised last week will cover all but about $1500.00 for the program to continue next year at its current level. In the past, we have had a substantial donation from another nonprofit group to cover costs not raised during the auction. Those funds are not available to us for next year.
If you would like our students to continue to have the same level of art instruction, please consider donating, if you can. All your donations are 100% Tax Deductible. Mrs. Clark can give you the tax information.
Again, thank you for all your support - in so many ways - to help our great LaMotte kids succeed and grow.
Mrs. Burke
