HOLIDAY ART CARDS
Just under two weeks left to order your Holiday Art Cards. Each Art Card is a piece of art!
Every student creates a piece of artwork which is then photographed
and glued onto white cardstock to create a beautiful and unique card. Cards
(including envelopes) come in bundles of 6. You can order your own child’s art
and/or a mixed bundle of artwork from various classes.
PLES CLOTHING ORDERS
Stay tuned! The clothing orders should be out soon. These make great Christmas gifts.
STRATEGIC PLAN SURVEY - CLOSES SOON!
If you have not yet completed the strategic plan survey, you still have a few days left.

The survey link can be found here: STRATEGIC PLAN 2022/2027 – CONSULTATION SURVEY
