The Fun Fair is Coming!

The Fun Fair is coming to Westwood on March 15th!  Our class is putting together an Arts and Crafts basket to be raffled off at the Fun Fair.  This weekend, while you're out at the store, please pick up 1 or 2 items to add to our basket.  Some items the students brainstormed to include in the basket are:

paint, brushes, markers, crayons, colored pencils, scratch art, foam sheets, scrapbook paper, fun shaped scissors, beads, craft kits, glitter, glue, stickers

Thank you so much for the families who've already donated items.  Our basket is beginning to take shape!
