Help the Art Room Get a Rug for Reading and Learning!!

http://www.donorschoose.org/ms.seikaly

Donorschoose.org is a wonderful website and organization that helps school and teachers raise money for classroom supply's and special items that need funding.

I set up an account to get a new rug for the art room to define a space for reading and learning as a group and for sharing ideas with each other.

Please pass along the info to anyone who would be willing to help the cause and would like to help out our school.

Happy New Year!

The Parade Company!

today was a momentous day in UPA art history, about 2 months ago the 4th and 5th grade students participated in a design contest for the Parade Company. It was a float design contest, the theme was "your Dream Neighborhood" one of our 4th grade students, Romance Keycer, won an honorable mention. out of hundreds of drawing, Romance and 4 other students got an honorable mention and one student got the grand prize, their drawing was turned into a larger than life float for the Thanksgiving Parade on Woodward Ave.

Romance, brother Romantic and Mom

He was one of 5 honorable mentions

so proud!

we were able to walk around the warehouse and see lots of the floats.

they were interviewed by WJR News Radio

lots of media were also there.
