Get Involved!

There are still plenty of ways to get involved at Countryside:

Art Projects: Countryside art teacher, Annie Stikeleather is seeking volunteers for the following projects and events:

• Artsonia: Photograph student artwork for Artsonia!  The best days for this are Thursdays (non-early release) after 1pm.
• Art Show/Fundraising Event Committee: Annie is looking for a parent or a team of parents to assist with Spring art shows to showcase student work and with planning fundraising events where students will create and sell art to raise money for charity.

If you can help with either or both of these opportunities, please get in touch with Annie!
