Parent Support

Message from Mrs. Hendrick

Dear Families,

We're making clay coil pots in art on Tues., May 9th from 9:48 - 10:38 AM. I would greatly appreciate 3 or 4 parents to help. No experience necessary.  Please email me at hendricj@aaps.k12.mi.us if you can help with your name, your child's name and the class teacher's name. ( I'm doing 5 clay projects that day and need to keep everything organized.) Please help!!! It's fun and exciting: You will add a piece of clay work to your family's artwork.

Thanks so much,

Mrs. Hendrick
