Saint Helen's School Art Program
Welcome to the 2007 - 2008 School year.
I hope your summer was refreshing and that your child is excited to begin a new school year.
Our beginning Art classes will consist of an inventory of your Childs art supplies. We will spend time labeling
our art supplies, if not done already, with permanent markers so that lost items can hopefully be returned to the
proper owner. If you have not purchased the requested art supplies, please do so as soon as possible. A supply
list can also be viewed at the Supply List link. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter it is greatly appreciated.
In addition to the general supplies smocks are also necessary and can be store bought, however an old button down
shirt with sleeves cut to the wrist works fine!
Students are held accountable throughout the year for coming to Art class with these supplies. I feel strongly
in training the students to be prepared for class which hopefully will instill a sense of responsibility in each
of them. Another goal of this policy is to provide a feeling of ownership and pride in their personal belongings.
These are life long skills, which will follow them throughout their school career and beyond.
I look forward to another colorful year with your child.
