Art Program Donations:
The OTES and Alton Elementary Art Departments, in partnership with the OTES Garden Committee, are in need of wood donations for an upcoming outdoor sculpture installation. We are in need of wood boards approximately 1-3' in length. All donated wood must be unfinished, no paint or stain, and free of any metal (screws, nails, staples, etc.). No logs please. If you have wood to donate, please do not drop it off without contacting Tiffany Palmer at tiffany.palmer@rsu34.org first.
The OTES art room is also in need of donations of cardboard tubes of any size. Students have been busy making, making, making here in the art studio and cardboard tubes are in high demand. Donations can be dropped off in the school vestibule until December 30 or anytime after that.
Thanks so much for your support of the arts!
