Trash Collection:
The art room can be the dumping, no collecting, ground for many wonderful things to use to make art.  I am collecting two things right now:
            1) Old, broken, sad to the world CRAYONS.  Send yours in at any time in a bag marked art room.  Depending on how many we get, there could be a major collaborative art project in the works.
            2) PLASTIC BOTTLE TOPS/CAPS.  Save these from milk containers, juice containers, drink bottles, water bottles, protein drinks, soda, sports drinks, vegetable oil containers- anything that has a twist on plastic lid.  (I have been spending time at the trash bins at the baseball field to get this collection going).  The goal is to have thousands of these for a collaborative piece next year... think along the lines of Van Gogh's Starry Night done in bottle caps. 
Action Alert: 
Tell Your Assembly Member Why You Oppose AB 1478!
 
AB 1478 (Jones-Sawyer) will be heard on the Assembly Floor next week. We need your help! This bill would impose undue financial hardship on your charter school by removing critical financial tools that allow charters to keep their doors open and result in potential criminal penalties and prosecution of dedicated volunteer charter school board members.
 
Click here to send an email to your Assembly Member opposing AB 1478, it only takes a minute!
If you have an extra three minutes, please click here make a quick phone call to your Assembly Member’s office. Phone calls from constituents have the most impact on legislators!
 
Thank you for advocating on behalf of kids in California!
