This coming Saturday, March 21st will be the last class until fall for this session! It will also be a celebration of our time together. So no new students this week. It has been such a joy to have all the kids in class for the past 6 months! Thank you to all the families that have seen how important art is in so many ways! We will paint the rabbit and all of you already know the place and time. For those of you that are away at spring break, have a great time! If you text me an address, I will drop off a small gift to your students for all the classes attended. I hope to see all of you back next October. Many thanks for supporting this class thru the years.
Ruth
