Welcome Back!

It was so great to see so many new and familiar faces this past Tuesday.  I am so excited to be  teaching art to your children this year.  Please take the time each week to check the weekly agenda to see what your child will be working on.  I look forward to the future masterpieces your children will create!

The following artwork has been selected for this year's Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts student display.  The artwork will be on display at the Kent County Courthouse on the corner of Ottawa and Lyon during the three day Festival.  These students should be extremely proud of their outstanding artistic efforts.  The display features artworks of more than 400 students in grades K-12 representing schools from throughout West Michigan.  Show hours are:  Friday 4:30-8:00pm; Saturday 10:30am-8:00pm; and Sunday: 11:30am-4:00pm.  Parents you may pick up your child's artwork on Sunday between 3:00pm-4:00pm.  Otherwise, I will be picking up the artwork on Sunday and your child will get their artwork back Monday June, 6.
