Spring Break Notes

A few notes as we get ready for Spring...

1) Your child should have brought home a Run for the Arts sponsor sheet.  Run for the Arts is the main way that Chapman raises funds for artists such as Bernie Duffy, Grupo Condor, Tears of Joy Puppet Theater and Tracie Broughton (who will be doing art with our class in the spring).  Spring break is a great time to find sponsors.  I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you carefully read the rules in terms of points and T-shirts.  There is a fairly complex formula at work here.  Our run is scheduled (weather permitting) for April 10 in the afternoon.

2) Our artist in residence, Tracie Broughton, will be here Tuesday and Wednesday the 1st and 2nd and plans to work with our class from 12:00 to 1:00.  I would love to have 2-3 volunteers to help out those afternoon.  ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY STUDENTS WILL BE WORKING WITH PERMANENT PAINTS.  PLEASE WEAR NON-PRECIOUS CLOTHES.

3) Art Ball is Thursday the 24th.  I would love to have more volunteers to help during the day and after school.  Please let me know if you can help.

4) The volunteer calendar for April, May, and June is up (and very empty).  Beginning in mid-April we will be without Dana for several weeks.  During this time, I am hoping to consolidate volunteers on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Center time, (hopefully with two volunteers each day) so I can still pull reading groups in the classroom.  Please consider volunteering in late April and early May.

5) Have a wonderful break
