From 9 AM to ?... ON DECEMBER 20,  …WE ARE HAVING AN…
****UGLY SWEATER CHALLENGE****
All students are asked to bring in a sweater/shirt/vest that
will be the base for the UGLY SWEATER DESIGNS.

~ Mr. B. bought a long-sleeve red shirt at the Salvation Army for $1.50. It will be the base.
~We will be hot gluing and attaching various items to our sweater/shirt/vest. So, if you have any
extra Christmas items that are not being used, please bring them to class all this week in
preparation for Thursday morning. MR. BARTRAW HAS A LOT OF ITEMS ALREADY, BUT
THE MORE OPTIONS, THE BETTER!
Items could include:
~ garland, ornaments, bells, craft foam, small tree boughs, pine cones, cotton balls, tinsel,
old XMAS lights, ... and ANYTHING that might make someone's sweater design UGLY!

AS IMPORTANT, if we could have 5 to 10 parent volunteers to help glue things on the sweaters using hot glue guns… that would be helpful!  If you are available on Thursday, December 20 from 9:00 to 11:30, please return this notice! 
~EXTRA GLUE GUNS and glue sticks WILL BE HELPFUL, TOO!
