PLEASE HELP!!!  Fundraising Feedback Needed!!

 

The PTSA is looking at options for upcoming fundraising events, and we would greatly appreciate your opinion. We are contemplating an auction and have a few questions related to it as well as methods of fundraising in general.

 

There are only SIX multiple choice questions! It will only take a couple minutes of your time, but the feedback will be invaluable!

Save the Date for Art Night!
Friday, June 7th is the 13th annual Horace Mann Family Art Night Festival. Plan to make it a family fun night!

 

Art Is Everywhere - Looking Beyond The Canvas

This year, we're hoping that our theme will inspire the students to see that art IS everywhere. Architecture, graffiti, advertising, cinema, photography, nature, guerrilla art, food and even in the trash (recycle!). There is art everywhere if you just take a look beyond the canvas.

 

We are continuing the tradition of kids proudly showing you their artwork, make'n take art, art themed games and the Mann Art Gallery as well as adding new activities and food.

 

Art Night may seem far away, but we're already gathering ideas and making plans. You are welcome to join us in a meeting! Your input and talents are valuable. Send Annie or Lara an email if you're interested in helping make Art Night fantastic.

 

Look for more information and new announcements as we approach Friday, June 7th!
