Square 1 Art orders are due!  At the end of this school week, your student (s) brought home their Square 1 Art packets.  Included in the packet were the artwork made into stickers and a condensed merchandise catalog.  You will use the individualized access code for your student when you access the online catalog.  Please be aware that Square 1 is only accepting online or phone in orders this year.  Payment is to be made with a credit card.  This is a change from previous years.

I hope you find some exciting merchandise!  Orders will be completed and returned to school prior to Christmas break - items make great presents!

SQUARE ONE ART FUNDRAISER




DEAR FAMILY,
Did you know the arts are the foundational building blocks for all the other educational disciplines? That’s why we have partnered with your child’s school to create a unique opportunity to celebrate their artistic accomplishments while raising much needed funds for the school.
Coming home soon will be your child’s custom catalog featuring their
artwork. Won’t you help make your child feel like an accomplished
artist by purchasing keepsakes for the whole family containing their masterpiece? The school earns profit from every order. And as a thank you for participating, we provide each child with a sheet of stickers imprinted with their artwork - absolutely FREE!
Watch for more details about the campaign and order deadlines. All online and paper order forms must be turned in by the due date on your child’s custom catalog. (No late orders can be accepted.)
Together, we can help support the school, build your child’s self-esteem, and create lasting keepsakes from your child’s artistic achievements.
