Volunteering
There are many ways to involve yourself in the art program at SDCCS, whether you are an artist or just someone who enjoys art. Please feel free to come and volunteer in the art room; I can always use help and I love having parent helpers. Please let me know that you will be coming in ahead of time because then I can make better use of your support. If you have ideas for a project feel free to come in to plan it out with me and we can make it happen. In order to see what jobs I need help with come by my classroom and refer to the job board I have hanging. Either drop by my classroom or email me and let me know what dates would work for you.

Donating
Is there a way to contribute money to the art program?
If you would like to contribute money to the art fund contact the PSA treasurer, Virginia Bays (baysfish@cox.net). Make sure to write on your check that this money is specifically for the art fund. If you don’t have money to donate I also love getting old hand me downs. I am basically a junk collector.  Many things can be used to make wonderful art. If you find things around your house that you think we could use, don’t hesitate to bring them to me.

Some ideas are:

• Old doors
  
• Old wood framed windows
  
• Old broken toys (small)
  
• Colorful tiles, ceramic pieces
  
• Cigar boxes (used to make dioramas) many cigar shops are willing to give them away free just call ahead to confirm 
  
• Old frames (frames that are larger in size work better)
  
• Old canvas tarps
  
• Old hard back books with a lot of picture
  
• Succulent Cuttings
  
• Old Shoes
  
• Gourds (to make into bird feeders)
