A message from our art teacher, Anne Engnoth:
Hi, we have a need for (a lot of) magazines in the art room to use for collages. Any magazine will do (please avoid hunting magazines)! We can even use that pesky junk mail.
Also, we can always use empty toilet paper rolls, odds and ends from workbenches or kitchen junk drawers, old costume jewelry, old books, etc. So, if anyone is doing any spring cleaning yet, please keep Art in mind!
Thank you,
Anne Engnoth
Please drop off at the office labeled with Ms. Engnoth's name.
