Raptor Art Club Interest Form – Grades 1–6! 🎨

Hello, Raptors! I’m Mrs. Blackhart, the art teacher at Harmony Ridge P-8, and I’m excited to offer an after-school Spring Art Club for our most creative students!

Grades 1–3: Fun, hands-on projects to explore creativity.

Grades 4–6: Projects that build skills and allow students to experiment with new techniques.

Each group will meet for five sessions after school (2:45–3:45 PM). Students may have a snack in the art room and get settled from 2:30–2:45.

The club is limited to 20 students per group, and students should be available for all sessions so they don’t miss out on the amazing creations we’ll be making!

This form is for interest only and will close on December 7, 2025. Filling out this form does not guarantee a spot—more information will follow via email.

Let’s get creative! 🎨✨
