Looking for materials!!

Does anyone have a sheet that they can donate? I'm looking for a top sheet, flat. It will be painted and cut, so harbor no hopes of a return. This will be used for our spring art show.

Also I am going to purchase Dow insulation board - the blue board - unless anyone happens to have some lying around. It is the kind that is available in 4'x8' boards in varying thicknesses from 1'2" to 4" wide. Not the pink board- it has a plastic skin that needs to be peeled off before painted. Again, using for the art show. We need to make a life size Oscar.

Anyone who might be hoarding sheets of plywood - IN ANY CONDITION - we would love to find you.

Also, keep drinking your milk and eating your veggies as we need to get more shoes for our shoe drive!!! Any brand, any size will do. They just need to be sneakers.

Thanks!!

Call me or email me if you have any questions: (360) 696.2586 ext. 1401

4/5 Civic Oriented Artists! Decorate our next voter's pamphlet!

2012 Kids’ Art Contest: “If I Could Vote”

OLYMPIA… The Office of the Secretary of State invites students in grades 4 and 5 to enter the 2012 Kids’ Art Contest. The theme for this year is “If I Could Vote.”

This art contest is an opportunity for Washington’s youngest citizens to be a part of elections and think about what they would value as voters. Students enter the contest by submitting their art with an entry form no later than April 16th. Please see the entry form for contest rules and requirements.

The winning art will be featured in the 2012 General Election Washington State Voters’ Pamphlet. Last year, there were 3.5 million copies distributed statewide. The winning artist will also receive a surprise visit from Secretary of State Sam Reed at his or her school. You can view examples from previous years on our website.
