The countdown begins....

With spring break right around the corner, the remainder of the school year is going to whip by.  Seriously.  We have quite a few things coming up that need your attention......

1. Everyone needs to fill out the teal blue packet I gave you and bring one piece of art, your best one, one that you are proud of, not that just happens to be around in your cubbie, by March 21st.  That's Thursday of next week.  The work is for the Congressional Art Show. YOU need to prep the artwork.  Matting, eye screws etc. Here are the guidelines.

Artwork must be two-dimensional.

Each piece can be no larger than 28” x 28” x 4” (28 inches high, 28 inches wide, and 4 inches deep),
including the frame. If your artwork is selected as the winning piece, it will be required to be framed
and must still adhere to the size guidelines.

Artwork cannot weigh more than 15 pounds.
