Hearts for the Arts - g111 News
Ready for the start of another exciting weekend? Jump
start your weekend with this Friday's FREE ADMISSION
to the "Hearts for the Arts" event (Feb 10th from
5:00-7:30 PM). Student art work will be showcased on the second
floor landing along with activities such as decorating cookies,
card and button making and so much more!
In preparation, g111 is "calling for
easels". If you have an easel, any size, and will lend to g111
for the Feb 10th event, please TAPE your name and contact number on
the easel and drop off in the Art Room.
Also, "calling for parent volunteers".
If you plan on attending, will you consider arriving early or staying
late to help with the set up or clean up? Please email g111volunteers@gmail.com.
Have you ordered your own to decorate 3x3 heart? If
not, please email jenscott_98@yahoo.com
directly, specifying pink or red color. The cost of
the heart is $40, payable to Gallery111. Please have your student
send check into their homeroom teacher, with the envelop clearly
marked "g111 heart - money enclosed."
P.S. Did we mention this event is FREE to
attend? g111 welcomes you to see the artwork, hear the Glee Club
singers, enjoy the company of other parents, and let your children
have fun inside the comfort of their school. Pizza, cookies, and
drinks are available for purchase.

The Ski trip is fast approaching and the kids are no
doubt ready for a relaxing weekend to top off the "Hearts for
the Arts" Event this Friday!
To curb those concerned with the local warming trend,
"The Mountain Top" at Grand Geneva will have plenty of snow
to keep the enthusiastic skiers and snowboarders engaged! They make
their own snow when the elements aren't working in our
favor. The weekend Lake Geneva, WI temps are currently
expected to be in the high 20's to low 30's, perfect for making the
snow stick! So pack some warm weather gear and be ready
for a great time with family and friends!
Snow Cub Lessons reservations are now
closed. Thanks to those who have registered.
For all those attending the ski trip, a group email
will be sent out on Friday confirming both your participation and
necessary trip details. This email will include where to meet,
my (Kim Reynolds) contact information, what time ski
registration will open on both the 12th and 13th, group photo shoot
times, etc.
Looking forward to a great weekend!
