Upcoming Dates

Original Works - Due November 12th

The Elementary Art Department K-8 Original Works is in full swing. Art work should have come home or will be coming home soon. Money raised from this fundraiser goes right back into the K-8 Art Department to give our students the most creative and wonderful art experience. In the past we have been able to purchase new kilns, displays and other art tools and supplies to use in our classes. 

 

If you are intending to order, please send all art work back to school by the end of the day on November 12, 2019. All orders will arrive before Christmas, making them great Christmas gifts! If you do not intend to order, please still return the artwork to school, as we would love to display the students talents! 

 

Thank you so much for your support of the K-8 Art Department at SMSA!

 

Mr. Schneider and Mrs. Brusky
