Supply List-Art

Most of the materials needed in the art class will be provided via the art fee.

ART FEE:  $10 per student in grades Kindergarten through 8.
In order to provide a lively and well stocked Art Room, a fee of $10.00 is requested for each student.  Think of the fee as one dollar per month. For families that have more than three students enrolled, the fee shall not exceed $35.00.

The fee should be paid in cash, enclosed in an envelope with “Art Fee” on the front.  Inside the envelope, please include :

• the family name
• the number of children
• their name(s) and grade(s). 

I keep a record of payments and expenditures.The envelopes may be turned-in to the homeroom teacher or directly to Mrs. Havrilla within the first month of school.
