Currently, all students are working on the Square 1 Art fundraising project. When completed, each student will receive a free sheet of stickers featuring their artwork. Parents and/or guardians will then have the opportunity to order their child's artwork printed on products like mugs, phone cases, ornaments, etc. (perfect for Christmas presents). A percentage of your order will be applied toward your family fundraising goal for the 2016-2017 school year. The theme for each grade is as follows:
