Art and Ambassador Agenda for August 12 through August 22

Welcome back!

We are off to a busy start in the art room. Every student in grades 1-8 will be drawing a monochromatic self portrait. Eventually these will be used in a large grid project.

Please continue to save recyclables for the art room. I will be collecting primarily plastic containers with lids, especially the rectangular baby food containers. I also will take any other thing you might think I can use. You can just send it in with your student or send me an email.

I am looking forward to working with everyone this school year! Lets make it a great one!
