December Happenings
from Mrs. Palmquist
Hey families and friends-
The Kindergarten-5th grade are in need of used/new gift bags and tissue paper to wrap some precious clay gifts for Christmas presents. Please don't go out and buy any! Look through your stash at home for these items. Even brown paper bags will work too. Please be send to school as soon as possible. They would need to be the size to hold at least a softball. Be sure to keep the ones you receive over break and send them to school in January - I'll hang onto them for the next year.
Consider holiday shopping for the people on your list with personalized gifts featuring your child's work from our web gallery. The funds raised from your purchases will be used to buy resources which will be kept in the K-12 art department. We appreciate your donations. Here is a link to our Amazon Artsonia Funds Wishlist.
Thank you for supporting the visual arts in our district! We love being able to share student work with our community near and far, and hope you are enjoying watching their artistic talents grow. Consider inviting more of your family and friends to become fans of your young artist. Wishing you blessings and coziness this month of December!
