Square 1 Art

Square 1 Art packets and order forms go home in this week.  

If you choose to submit your order through the school they are do back to the front office by November 5th.  If you choose to order online please do so by November 5th as well, as our school will get a lower percentage of fundraiser money on any orders after the 5th. 

Thanks in advance for participating in the Square 1 Art fundraiser. The money we raise from this funds our entire art class budget for the school year. The more money we raise, the more art supplies we can purchase! 

Have a great day!!

Daniel Gonzales

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending an art show at The Outnumbered Gallery that featured my friend Daniel Gonzales.  Daniel used to teach art at Rock Canyon High School. Maybe some of your older brother and sisters took a class from him there.  He left teaching to pursue a career as a professional artist full time. His work is amazing. If you get a chance to visit the Outnumbered Gallery and check out his work...you will not be disappointed.  Below are some pictures I took at the show, as well as a link to his website.
