Gala Update #2

Hello Parents and 4th Graders!

Huzzah! We have really pulled our project together recently and it is looking like it a wonderful addition to our auction. The students gathered in the art room today to decoupage their flower pots. We found that decoupage paste is a messy business, but the pots came out beautiful. Thank you Mrs. Ratcliff for coming and being crafty with us today. Thank you Parents for all of your contributions to this project. Here are some pictures of the pots and our other items.

Gala Project Update

So far we have received pots from 4 students, check email to see who still needs to provide one. 

 

Items that have been provided:

Seed Packets

Miracle grow

Seed starter pots

Hose Nozzel

Windchimes

Potting Soil

 

 

Items still needed:

Garden Gloves

Garden Tools such as hand trowel, hand cultivator

Watering Can

Wheelbarrow  

 

I will provide a plant and some flowers to dress it up right before the Gala so they are nice and green and still blooming. I'm thinking we might want to purchase some wide ribbon to adorn the wheelbarrow with a big bow as well. This coming Friday, we will be decoupaging our pots in the art room from 8:20 to 10:00. If you are available to come help with this process that would be greatly appreciated.
