Order Your Holiday Gifts Early AND Support REES Art Department

image

Note from Mrs. Ohara (River Eves’ Art Teacher)…

Your child has been busy making beautiful artwork that can be made into many fun and personalized gifts such as magnets, mugs, mouse pads, ornaments and much more! Check your child’s backpack for your child’s personalized Square 1 Art catalog and FREE stickers featuring their artwork!

Square 1 Art partners with REES to encourage and celebrate the artistic talents of children, while helping raise valuable funds for their Art Department. Square 1 Art is a major funding source for everything we do in the ART ROOM! Each year, these proceeds from your order will directly help fund new, best-in-class and fun art supplies!

Your generosity is greatly appreciated and allows us to continue offering superior art educational opportunities at River Eves!

Thank you!

Mrs. O’Hara
