PLEASE BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE PREVIOUS POST FOR THE AGENDA FOR NEXT WEEK.


I AM LOOKING FOR ITEMS TO RECYCLE IN THE ART ROOM. RECYCLING IS AN ON GOING PROJECT IN ART. WE TRY TO RECYCLE AND/OR REUSE AS MANY TYPES OF ITEMS AS POSSIBLE. I  HAVE COMPILED A RECYCLE LIST OF ITEMS THAT ARE CURRENTLY NEEDED IN ART. IF YOU HAVE IDEAS OF OTHER THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ACCESS TO, BUT THAT ARE NOT ON THE LIST, JUST EMAIL THE IDEAS TO ME AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF I AM INTERESTED. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO HAVE VERY LIMITED STORAGE SPACE SO I CANNOT KEEP EVERYTHING!

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED IN THE PAST AND I LOOK FORWARD TO USING ALL THE "STUFF" THAT I CAN  FROM WHAT YOU SEND IN WITH YOUR CHILD.

FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS LIST TO GRANDPARENTS, AUNTS AND UNCLES TO INCREASE OUR RECYCLING EFFORTS!
