Note to parents:

All students must be signed in and must sign out when leaving. Students are not allowed to come and go or leave for just lunch. All special arrangements must be made by parents ahead of time and explained to Ms. Cosby.  The safety of all students is the first priority of the day. Any behavior issues will not be tolerated and a parent will be called for students to be picked up immediately. This is to be a fun creative day where positive attitudes should be a goal for everyone to enjoy.

All pumpkins and tee-shirts will be ready to take home that day.   

Please observe the times above as two separate sessions or mention if student is staying the whole time. Please understand by signing up and returning this form that you are making a commitment and to honor that b/c others who signed up after you may not have gotten to attend due to the session being full. Not showing up after committing to coming does keep another student who also wanted to attend from coming. Due to the times and this being an extra day we must have a limit of students per session.

Tools we create with and more!

Be inspired by the everyday things. Have fun while you are creating and look at something in a new way.
Here is art club being creative and messy. We eat, we create and we share!
