 Recycle: Art Supplies Needed Mrs. Deery is working on a wonderful Andy Warhol project with the children and are looking for donations of old worn leather shoes. Any leather style shoe, high heels, mens work shoes, boots, large or small would be appreciated.
We are also in need of crayons! New or old, worn out, large, small or broken are acceptable. We're running low and can really use any unused, crayons that you may have lying around.
Please deposit your donations in the boxes in the lobby or take them directly to the Art Room. Thank you Recycling Committee Chair - Michelle Register |
