Things you can find at home that the Art Room would LOVE to make their new home....
*Dry Cleaning Bags
*Short Sleeved old t-shirts (Please no collared shirts, they are too big for the students)
*Newspaper/Newsprint
*Brown Paper lunch bags
*Cereal Boxes
*Magazines: Important that they are ELEMENTARY appropriate. Examples: Home and Garden's, Martha Stewart, Food Magazines, etc. Please stay away from fashion magazines, sports magazines, and National Geographic.

EGR Art Mission:
Art provides an environment that nurtures self-expression, development of lifelong skills, and an appreciation for artistic heritage.
Philosophy:
We believe the every child and student in our care is talented and capable of growing through an art experience. We further believe that art promotes the development of fine motor skills, creative problem solving, higher order thinking, and sensitivity to the ideas of others.
On July 26, 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.Con.Res. 275, legislation designating the second week of September as “Arts in Education Week.”
This resolution is the first Congressional expression of support celebrating all of the arts education disciplines – dance, music, theater and visual arts.
The resolution seeks to support the attributes of arts education that are recognized as instrumental to developing a well-rounded education such as creativity, imagination, and cross-cultural understanding. H.Con.Res. 275 also highlights the critical link between those skills and preparing children for gaining a competitive edge in the global economy.
