Art Club 

We meet every Tuesday after school for about half an hour.  Each year we brainstorm activities that interest us and try to make them happen.  This year, we plan to focus on a Halloween sucker fundraiser, face-painting at games, the canned food drive and festival, a trip to Little Italy in Cleveland and some time making our own jewelry.  See me for the minutes from the last meeting to get caught up in the excitement.  Please join us.
