Just a reminder that tomorrow is our field trip to Black Island Farms. Our wagon ride starts at 9 a.m. Please arrive by 8:45 or earlier if you need to purchase a ticket for yourself. They will not wait for anyone who is late. Please make sure your child has a sack lunch that does not need to be heated up and a refillable water bottle. It is also a good idea to have them bring a jacket in case it does get cool. We will be leaving the farm between 1 and 1:30. If your child will be coming back to the school for the last hour with me, just plan on picking them up at the regular time school is over.
Also, a reminder that Friday is the fall festival. It will be here at the school on the field. Please come and bring friends, family, and neighbors. You can buy tickets there. There will also be refreshments. Please dress up if you would like. It will be from 4 to 7.
Yesterday original projects were sent home with the kids. Here is the info about them.
What is Original Works? For 26 years, this company has been coordinating with schools to turn children’s art into keepsakes. You can choose from one or more of the following: key chains, magnets, mirrors, coasters, notebooks, tiles, mugs, tote bags, water bottles, cell phone covers, night lights, T-shirts, quilt block, mouse pads, note cards, pillowcases, journals, pot holders, matted prints, and decorative flags.
Who benefits from this fundraiser? When you order, the profit goes directly to your child’s classroom!
What should I do if my child completed more than one piece of art? Each piece of art needs its own order form. If you want to order multiple pieces of art, please get additional order forms from Rachael Bush.
What should my child do with their completed packets? Return the art, order form, and check payable to MMA to the school. There will be a table at the entrance ready for your orders. PLEASE do NOT give money and order forms to teachers.
We ONLY accept checks! Please make them out to MMA and include them with your completed order form.
When are order forms due? By October 26th. Look for the Original Works table in the school’s entrance!
When will orders arrive? Original Works art keepsake(s) will be sent home on December 2nd.
What if my child didn’t finish their art at school? Your child can complete, add to, or even replace their art at home. Use 8½ x 11″ plain paper and color or paint. Please no glitter, pipe cleaners, googley eyes, or anything else that makes the art 3-D.
What if parents don’t want to order? You keep your child’s art!
If you have additional questions, please contact rachael.bush@gmail.com
These will make great gifts for grandparents. We made a lot of money from our last year original works that we are using for field trips this year.
Thanks for all you do.
