ArtPrize art project help and donations! Can you help us?

We are looking for people who are willing to donate time and materials for our students' upcoming 2020 ArtPrize entry. In 2017, Hudsonville Public Schools' students won their category and we are entering again next year! If you or someone you know would be willing to donate wooden boards to our school.... we need 1X4 and 2x4 primed or unprimed boards. We also need someone to cut these boards down to 6 inch lengths. Each student at our school in grades K-5 will be creating artwork on their own board which will be joined together with our other K-12 Hudsonville Public Schools student artworks!

If you can donate boards or cut boards for us (we need 430+ pieces for our school alone), please email Jessica Seitz (one of our art teachers) at jseitz@hpseagles.net . Thanks so much!

CULVER'S NIGHT UPDATE

It was a fun and yummy way to raise $900.00!  Thank you for your support and thank you to Culver's for allowing Bauer to take over the restaurant!
