This year 1st through 5th grade will once again be participating in the sqaure 1 art fundraiser. Square 1 is a company that takes your child's artwork and puts it on items to purchase like coffee mugs, t-shirts, tote bags, notebooks, key chains, magnets and much more. The artwork for the fundraiser is produced in class and is sent to square 1. In a few months you will receive an order form where you can preview your child's work and order the products that you desire. These items make wonderful Christmas gifts and are special since they showcase your child's fabulous artwork.
As always, 5th grade will be creating self portraits. Each year the 5th graders create their portraits and square 1 puts them on ceramic tiles. Our gracious PTA funds this project each year. These tiles are then made into class murals. We have had some trouble finding the best place to hang these class murals, but stay tuned... more info to come as to where previous class murals and this year's mural will hang!!
The money made from the square 1 orders, goes to help purchase much needed supplies and materials in the art room. In the past we have gotten new drying racks as well as everyday materials used by your children in the art room.
