DARFUR DAY A HUGE SUCCESS!

Thanks to all for the amazing support at Darfur Day 2009!
We raised over $600! And spread a lot of awareness. There
were so many people who came out to support our Sister School!

We still have some art work up on the walls in the lobby for sale
(located on the lobby wall between the 2 stairwells). This will only be up for sale tomorrow, Monday June 22nd!!
Students from Stuyvesant High School donated pieces from a "Stained Glass"
art project inspired by Gothic Cathedrals. They are incredibly intricate and gorgeous
with a modern spin and look beautiful in windows or against walls!

Kenton's Theater Games Video for sale- $4
Kenton has generously allowed us to sell the Theater Games production video for proceeds to go to our Sister School. If interested, please stop by room 405 or email me!

GREEN BUILDING MUSEUM EXHIBIT this Thursday June 18th 10:00-12:25 am and 1:30-2:30 pm

Our class has been really busy all year working on their Green Buildings. They will be having a Green Building Museum Exhibit this Thursday June 18th 10:00-12:25 am and 1:30-2:30 pm. The students have building models including all elements of green design, iMovies made by them at the Apple store, scratch projects, and writing to accompany, in both Spanish and English. We have invited classes, and would love to have families, too! The Exhibit will be held in their classroom, hallway and in the Spanish classroom.

MONDAY 1/2 DAY...

Tomorrow, Monday June 15, is a clerical half-day. Students get out at 11:30...

I wanted to reach out to everyone about the Darfur Day fundraiser our class is doing this coming Friday June 19, afterschool in the lobby 3pm-5pm for our Sister School.

If you are able to donate anything, such as artwork, crafts, used books, baked goods, nail painting (oh yes, a nail salon!), etc. we would be really appreciative! nothing is too small or uncreative!

** special thanks to those who have already donated!
we also have some parents and kids doing paintings, collages, any other crafty things!

*OR IF YOU CAN DONATE ANY OF THESE ITEMS FOR THE CLASS TO MAKE PROJECTS that would be AWESOME:
- canvas boards/ artist panels for painting (any size- small is fine! Utrecht Art Store, Pearl Paint sells these in packs)
- plain t-shirts (to screen print on- Kmart or Target has packs of 3 for ~ $6)
- frames (used are great!)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
