The Haddam Elementary School Annual Art Show will be Wednesday May 24, from 6:30 – 8:00 in the evening. (Please note: this is a date change) Please remember to mark your calendars. All the children have been working especially hard on their projects since September. The theme for this year’s event will be “Old MacDonald’s (Granucci’s) Farm”. The cafeteria and the hallways will be set up as an art gallery based around this year’s theme. I know you will be impressed with what your child has created this year as every project both 2-D and 3-D; school wide is put on display. I hope you will make every effort to bring the whole family and friends on that night.
 
          The mounting and name tagging of art work is coming along; however, if any parent is available to still help with this task there is still plenty to do. In addition, if any parent would like to help with hanging artwork for the art show, or taking down the art work after the art show, you can e-mail me at jgranucci@rsd17.org., or reply at the end of this newsletter return slip. No need to reply if you already have. We will be hanging pictures and setting up for the show on Tuesday May 23, starting at 8:30am. It is extremely important that we have parental help with this task. We will start taking down the show the week of May 30. It doesn’t have to come down all at once; A few hours anytime during that week would be appreciated. I would like to have everything down and distributed by the first week in June. Help will be needed separating, sorting, and delivering the artwork to the classrooms. Please consider helping out with our art show this year. The children are so excited about showing off their work. If you think you could assist in any way, please send in the reply at the bottom of this notice.

My kindergarten friends just completed their paper mache' sculptures of baby chicks. They had a blast creating them, and I think they did an amazing job. This is just a preview and sampling of what's to come for the art show on Wednesday May 17, 6:30 - 8:00. Have a great weekend! ~Mr. G.
