To start, parents/guardians can fill out a permission slip (via this Google Form)  which gives consent to provide Art To Remember with your student's name and teacher.  Filling out this form does not obligate you to purchase anything, but is required if you want the option to purchase any artwork products.  Please submit the permission slip no later than March 31st.  If you have any questions, please contact Ashley Doss, PTA President, at ashley.n.doss1@gmail.com.
