Visiting Artist Friday!

Dear parents of fourth and fifth graders,
This is a quick reminder that tomorrow we will host a visiting artist on our campus.
Hsi-Mei Yates,a local artist and Chinese ink painter, will be leading a fun but messy project.
Please send your child in with either an older dark shirt on or a t-shirt to pull over their clothes for this activity.
We could also use any volunteers willing to move wet (inky) paintings and assist students.
Thank you for helping make this program a success!
