Happy New Year- 2016!!!
A quick note about Projects and Open House Art Show, (in Spring)....
In years past, I have collected an artwork from each student and hanged their work throughout the school. This year I will collect an artwork from each student, but I'm reaching out to get assistance from a company called Artome'. This company frames all student work and displays it in an organized and professional manner. I'm mentioning it now, so you know that student work will be coming back to students like usual, but I will not be giving out certificates for kept work....I'm planning to keep a project from an entire class rather then a few from each project. Please know I'm new to this and I will do my best to make this transition run smoothly.
