Art Guitars!!

5th Graders will soon be starting their Art Guitars project in art and we are looking for as many used science fair boards as we can get. If you have one laying around or just some large cardboard boxes, I'll be happy to take them off your hands!

Square 1 Art Fundraiser Fall 2010

Wow! I'd like to thank all of the families who placed orders. Thank You!!! After today I will no longer be able to take orders (Friday was the deadline). If you were unable to make the deadline for the school order, there are other ways to place a private order of your child's artwork.

You can do this by visiting Square 1 Art's FAQs page at: http://www.square1art.com/FAQ/index.cfm?InstanceID=736 - look under 'Orders'

Thank you all again for supporting creativity at Boone!
