A Note from Mr. George

A quick note from Mr. George, our Art Teacher at Sappington:


I have a small request to make,  With the focus of Literacy across the curriculum becoming a focal point I have decided to bring back the art room journal.  If you could please have each student bring a notebook to class starting next Monday with their name on the front cover I would greatly appreciate it.  Normally I would only have 3rd graders bring them because I will keep them from year to year but with the re-boot of the program I need all three grade levels to bring notebooks.  These notebooks will be kept in the artroom until the students final day of fifth grade.
Third grade could you please make sure to amend the 3rd grade supply list to reflect the need of an additional notebook for art for the 2013-2014 school year, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you all for the assistance,
Rob George
