Local businesses or restaurants partner with the school and agree to donate a portion of their profits on a given night.  You get to have a night out, and the school gets something back.  Watch for flyers to be sent home as each event comes closer.  Some of the businesses that have supported us are Bullwinkle’s, Burgerville, Applebee’s and more.

Twice a year, generally near Christmas and Mother’s Day, a sample piece of work created by your child as a part of the Art Literacy program will be sent home along with an order form.  Your child’s artwork can be imprinted on products from aprons to clipboards at a reasonable cost.  You may also use any other piece of artwork from your child that you may prefer.  (About a 30% profit)
