Hello Families,

We hope that the past week brought your family together. Our staff enjoyed the week to rest and rejuvenate as we move towards the last few weeks of our semester. This week, we invite you to support our creative school by participating in our Green Apple Books Fundraiser! By purchasing books online on Wednesday, November 29 or in person on Thursday, November 30 (10am-9pm) you will contribute to Creative Arts! Be sure to note in your transaction "Creative Arts Fundraiser."

Coming up soon is our annual school-wide Exhibition of Learning on Friday, December 8! If this is your first Exhibition- you are in for a festive experience where every class in the school showcases their learning through art installations, classroom exhibits, music performance and more! This year we have many parent and student makers selling their creations too! Be sure to reach out to Ann if you want to sell your work. Our Exhibition showcases the creative spirit of our learning community, we hope you each can make it! In the meantime, please be sure to sign up to volunteer below.

ALSO- Don't forget to submit your logo design in celebration of our 30 years as Creative Arts! Open to all of our families and students, we encourage you to submit a design that expresses your love of Creative Arts! Chosen designs will be used on our t-shirts and in publicity efforts. 1 winner will be selected from the following categories: parent/guardian, K-5 and 6-8. Voting will happen at our Exhibition of Learning!

In gratitude,

The Leadership Team
