Attention Parents!
I am excited to invite you to support our school's Online Art Show Fundraiser which promises to be an incredible showcase of your child's talent while aiding our school's needs.
Now, more than ever, our school needs your support. While our primary goal is to celebrate the artistic accomplishments of your children, the Online Art Show Fundraiser will also raise funds to enhance the educational experience at our school. Your contribution will directly benefit your child by providing additional resources, supplies, and opportunities to further their artistic development.
Here is how you can help:
1. Visit our Online Art Show Fundraiser: https://artomestore.com/collections/mccallaelementary35022
2. Share the event with family and friends.
3. Purchase your child's framed masterpiece. A reproduction also makes a great gift for loved ones.
We are incredibly grateful for your ongoing support and dedication to your child's education.
Thank you so much!
Mr. Vest

Teachers take time to learn, too! Our McCalla teachers are reading and learning about teachability and building Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to further their knowledge and skills in the classroom. #theMcCallaWay #KnowledgeisPower
