Calling All Creative Parents!
Each year all the UPark grades join as one to create amazing class art projects. These masterpieces are then presented to the community and sold at our annual auction in the Spring. We are looking for ideas and parents to lead or facilitate these class projects. The possibilities are endless...painting, transforming a piece of furniture, a sculpture, a mosaic or any creative expression that the whole grade can do (approximately 75 kids).
If you have an idea, a special talent, artful expression, want to lead a class or possibly the whole effort, email Dana O'Connor at auction@uparkelemntary.org.
