Attention Parents, Square ONE art is back!
Your students worked very hard on their first art project this year and now you can purchase their work on a variety of products offered by Square ONE art. These personalized items make fantastic keepsakes and gifts for loved ones. Rocky Branch students have received their original artwork back along with a page of stickers of their artwork and an order catalog. You may place orders online with the code on the catalog, send in the catalog order form to the school with a check made out to Square ONE art, or call the number on the catalog. This program raises funds for our art classroom at Rocky Branch and allows Ms. Stephanie to replenish our art materials when we run out or purchase something new to try with the students. Please consider supporting your child and our art program with a purchase by November 6th, 2017. All orders will be delivered to the school on November 28th, 2017, in time for holiday gift giving.
Please contact Stephanie Jenkins (RBES art teacher) at sjenkins@oconeeschools.org with any questions or concerns. Thank you!
