Art Fundraiser
You should have received your child’s customized catalog with great gift ideas featuring your child’s art. These gifts are a perfect way to memorialize your child’s art and make great gifts. 
Better yet, 100% of the proceeds support our visual arts program.
Take a peek and make sure you show your family over spring break.

Last Call for Auction Donations
April 6th is the last day to turn in donations – please make an extra effort over Spring Break to collect donations. Ideas include health and beauty, food and drink, sports, outings/destinations – the possibilities are endless.
Speaking of the Auction....
It’s time to get ready...line up your babysitter, buy your tickets, find your hat and get ready for some derby fun!
