Hello from the art room. Please read previous posts for our art room recycle list and this week's agenda!

I just wanted to give a huge thank you to Mrs. Nagel for her company's generous donations to the art room. She provided fabric, aluminum pans, craft sticks, beads, foam paint brushes, storage containers, wax paper, glass "marbles" that will look great in collages, and many other great items. Thank you again.

If you are interested in recycling, please send your items in with your student and they can bring the items to the art room. If you have a large donation, please feel free to drop off items directly to the art room.
