Second Annual Kid's Art Fair

Art Fair

 

Third-grader Kyle Trabulsy poses with his framed painting of St. Michael from last year's Art Fair.

 

 

Last year's Art Fair was such a huge success we're making it an annual event!This year's Art Fair will be held on Thursday, March 3rd.Students in Kindergarten through 6th grade have been working hard on their artwork for the Fair during their Art classes with Ms. McCadden.  Each student has the opportunity to see their artwork on display in a "Kid's Art Fairs" frame during the event.Parents have the option of purchasing the frame package at the Fair or in advance, but there is no obligation to purchase the frame to see your child's artwork on display.

 

Your child's invitation was recently sent home in a Thursday folder. If you did not receive one, please ask your child's homeroom teacher for one. Whether or not you purchase the frame package, if you plan on attending, then the invitation must be returned to ensure that your child's artwork is framed for viewing on the evening of the Fair.

 

The PTO will also be hosting an ice-cream social, and the Kid's Art Fairs representative will have art activities available.  

 

Volunteers are needed to help make this year's Art Fair as successful as last year's Fair. If you would like to volunteer please fill out the information requested on the invitation and Ms. McCadden will be in touch.
