Art Fair Success
This year’s art fair, held on March 27, was another huge success. The theme was "Helping Hands". Students enjoyed spring and hand print arts and crafts. Student artwork was displayed through the halls. There was also face painting that was done by Mollie the face painter. Volunteers from Kohl's were available to assist at the tables. All proceeds from the art basket went to the charity "Relay for Life". I wanted to say thank you to all that participated in making this event successful. A special thanks to the Donaldson PTA for sponsoring the event. Thank you to the staff, parents and students for attending. Also, if it weren't for Mrs. March and Ms. Turici, the art fair would not be possible. So, thank you for your hard work and dedication to the arts!!
