Art to Remember
Greetings from the art room!
It's almost Art to Remember time! All full day students in K-5 created their own unique artwork during art class in January and February. Each child chose what to draw and finished their ideas with their very best craftsmanship. These images were loaded onto the Art to Remember secure site. Art to Remember offers many amazing keepsakes with your child's artwork on them such as key chains, magnets, plaques, t-shirts and nightlights. Order forms will be coming home next week. Your child's order form will have a special code to access your child's artwork. All orders will be taken online and shipped to the school after spring break. Proceeds from this year's fundraiser will be spread across art, music and PE classes. Please consider participating!
Sincerely, Bev Collins
