NEED will be splitting the proceeds with the JCS, LGN and HAY art departments again!
NEED offers this art fundraiser to 3 of our schools: the JCS, LGN and HAY. The art teachers combine the fundraiser with their curriculum so that the children learn while being creative. In early September, the art teachers start the process with the art templates and forms. Once the art forms are complete, they get sent back to Square1, where your child's art will be displayed on various products via a personal flyer. Parents can order online or with the provided order form. All items are delivered to your child in school and they can take them home in their backpack, in plenty of time for gift-giving for the December Holidays!
