Your Trash Is Our Treasure

Please consider saving and sending your recyclables to the Art Studio! Young artists look forward to using the materials, and their imagination, to build and create sculptures. It is a good way for them to begin seeing and using everyday objects in new and unusual ways. When sending materials, please make sure they are rinsed and dry. For safety reasons, please do not send metal cans or glass containers. We can put any of the following materials to use:

• Egg cartons
• Small plastic containers and lids
• Cardboard paper towel/toilet paper rolls
• Ribbon, yarn, buttons, jewels
• Small cardboard pieces and boxes
• Anything you think has creative possibilities!

If you have items, but are not sure whether to send them or not, feel free to give me a call (Hanawalt: 242-8411) or email me at sally.mackenzie@dmps.k12.ia.us. Thank you for helping us collect interesting materials to use!
