Field Day Shirts...
The majority voted for a class theme, example below.
Each homeroom teacher will be responsible for creating their artwork for the students to trace and then color on their shirt. See example attached. The artwork needs to be on a white paper with a black sharpie/marker so that it will show through under the shirt. We need the artwork by Friday, Feb. 15th. You can turn yours into my box or email it to me!
