Hello Everyone,

I am so happy to share with you that we are doing original works again this year. For those of you who do not know what this is, the students make artwork and we send it to a company that will put it on all sorts of things you can purchase. These things include magnets, cards, bags, cups, ornaments, towels, pillow cases, to name a few. I use the things I order as holiday gifts for my own children’s grandparents.  I also like to order an ornament to add to my Christmas tree. (I have included some pictures of magnets and a card that have been ordered.) The proceeds from this go to your student’s classroom to be used for their class. In the past I have used my funds for field trips, a class pet, and materials. This is a wonderful way to help get money for the classroom and things teachers and students may need.

Some guidelines: Use bright, bold, colors. Do not use anything 3D like glitter or googly eyes. If artwork goes to the end of the paper, some of it will get cut off so make sure all important things like names (if included on front) are about an inch from the edged. On the back students need to write their first and last name, teacher’s name, and a capital T to show which way is up. I have attached a document with these guidelines. I have also included a site with frequently asked questions.

I will be sending these pieces of art on September 27th. Any art given to me after this will not be submitted. I strongly encourage you to do this with your class as it is a great way to get classroom money. Some ways I have used mine are a class pet, art materials, field trips.

I will send a separate email with some ideas I have found to be successful. If anyone else has ideas, please feel free to share.

I will be bringing around a packet for you all that includes the paper to use. Thank you!!

Thank you-    Ms. Leslee
