| Art to Remember |
A company takes artwork that our children make in Art at school and send us order
forms to order the art as a magnet, mouse pad, t-shirt, etc. This is a fundraiser and service to our parents.
PTA coordinates with Ms. Greenberg so the art is done in the first few weeks of school. |
