Calling All Artists!! Our 5-8th Art Show is coming up on May 14, 2014. We will be showing all of your students' best pieces created this school year and will hopefully also make some artwork available for purchase as a fundraiser for the School's Art Program. Stay tuned for invitations and more information.
