I sent home a yellow packet yesterday with you child’s original art and instructions on how to order. The items for purchase make wonderful gifts for the upcoming holiday season and are a terrific fundraiser for our classroom. In the you will find ideas on what you can order with your child’s art on it. For example, I am ordering a Christmas tree ornament for each my own children to commemorate the year and then letting them each pick one other item of their choice (they want a keychain, a notebook and a dog tag). If you are ordering, please make sure that you return the art with the order form in the yellow folder. They can do more than one piece of art for different items. Your child’s other siblings are welcome to do an art piece and you can order items with their art. Just make sure you identify what art you would like on the item. All original art pieces will be returned.
What is Original Works?
Turn your child’s art into high-quality keepsakes (mugs, tote bags, pot holders, quilt blocks, ornaments, pillowcases, keychains, night lights, etc.). This fundraiser benefits your child’s classroom directly.
What if my child didn’t do or complete their art?
Complete it now! Art needs to be on plain 8.5”x11” paper (cardstock is best for durability–ask Ms. Christina if you need some!). No 3-D art (glitter, pipe cleaners, etc.) and no copyrighted art. Must be original! Whatever you turn in with your payment will be considered complete.
What if my child made/wants to make more than one piece of art?
If your child would like to create a piece of art in addition to what they created in class (for example: something more specific for grandparent gifts, etc.), they are welcome to do that! You need one order form per piece of art (if you need an extra, ask Ms. Christina!). The order form needs to be filled out and taped to the back of your child’s art.
What if I have a child who wants to participate and isn’t at MMA?
Anyone can submit art. All you need is an order form and to designate which teacher you want to benefit!
How do I pay?
Write a check made to Original Works and attach it to the order form or write your credit card number on order form.
When are orders due?
Art, order forms, and payment must be returned to the front office by October 17th.
What needs to be on the art?
Your child’s name, teacher’s name, and a T designating the top of art must be written on the back of each piece of art.
When will keepsakes arrive?
Friday, November 30th!
