Art Club!

The Trillium Art Club will be held in room 106 on Thursdays from 3:30-4:15 for 7th-12th grade students. Students will be able to experiment with different art media as well as help out with making decorations and posters for school events. We will also be making art items for an auction fundraiser that will raise money to buy new art supplies for the art department.

You do not need to attend Art Club every week - come when you can!

Be sure to have a ride home at 4:15! Parents/guardians of 7th and 8th grade students will need to come to room 106 to sign out their student.

We will NOT have Art Club on Thursday, October 1.

See Ms. Potter for details!
