Spirit Week 03/18-3/22
International Night
Our International Night was a BLAST!! A huge thanks to all of our parents and teachers who created awe inspiring tables representing their home country. We appreciate the efforts of our PTO parents under the direction of Ms. Emilee Miles.
It's time for Square 1 Art!
Our seahawks in grades K, 2, 4, and 6 have worked hard, along with our awesome art teachers, to get some fantastic artwork completed for this fundraiser. We have already shipped that artwork out, and you will have the chance to purchase some cool keepsakes with your child's artwork on it, such as tote bags, welcome flags, coffee mugs, etc. These items make great gifts. If you have a seahawk in grade K, 2, 4, or 6, keep an eye out for a catalog coming home SOON!
Students in grades 1, 3, and 5 can participate too!!! Even siblings at home can participate. Perhaps your student brought some cool artwork home earlier this year and you would like to make it into a lasting keepsake! Anyone can create a work of art (or multiple works of art), upload it digitally at square1art.com and order awesome keepsakes!
While this is not a huge fundraiser for Silverbrook (we mainly do it because it's a neat way for us to turn our kids' artwork into cool stuff), our school DOES BENEFIT from every purchase!
Artwork done at home (or even something your student may have made previously) can be uploaded and ordered until April 12th!
"Please note, while catalogs say the deadline is April 2nd, the deadline has been extended to April 12th!"
There are a few tips to consider while creating the best artwork for these keepsakes... check them out at Making Art with Square 1 Art.

*Please note, all orders must be placed online, and Square 1 Art will only be using direct ship to your home address... items purchased will not be mailed to the school.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Renee Williams at square1art@silverbrookpto.org. THANK YOU!
