Hi families and friends,
Our school is participating in a creative fundraiser with Art to Remember that allows you to purchase keepsake products customized with your child's art. There are over 60 products and many are less than $20. These make great gifts and a percentage of every purchase goes right back to our school. Click on the link below and enter the online order code shown on your child's order form or to search for your child's artwork. Then, have fun shopping!
Your child's order form will be going home in the next few days! Please be on the lookout! :)

5th grade students took a trip to Main Street to paint fall scenes on business windows. The students worked incredibly hard and had the greatest time sharing their artistic talents! Thank you to all the parents who helped and to the businesses who let our students decorate for fall. Please take a moment to take a look on Main St. at the amazing artwork done by our amazing students.
