Holton Parents/ Guardians,
Welcome back to another fabulous year in the
Holton Art Room! This marks my 5th school year at Holton and I am thrilled to be sharing the art room this year with another lovely art teacher, Ms. Becky Carey. Please make her feel welcome to Holton! I will be teaching the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday classes while Ms. Carey will be teaching on Thursdays and Fridays.
Here are just a few tidbits I wanted to inform you of as we get our creativity flowing this fall:
