The Veggies Take on the Sweets in this Year's Auction

My Sample Project for the Students
It's time to get ready for the annual Prescott Auction!  Each year, this event raises money for our entire school community.  Last year's auction helped provide the art room with some much-needed file drawers for student artwork, and many other teachers received valuable resources.  We all feel lucky to have such great parent and community support.  This year, each student is donating a work of art to the auction.  The third and fourth graders have been creating designs for some fun aprons that will be auctioned off.  I chose the theme "Veggies vs. Sweets" because I thought it would get the kids talking about healthy food choices, and I thought the parents would have fun seeing which group their student chose for their theme.  It was split fairly evenly!  They used fabric crayons and were asked to color with a lot of pressure, to mix colors, and to outline their work.  This helped ensure the iron-on would work and the apron would look its best.  We have some parent volunteers who will iron them on in time for the auction.  Come bid on an apron at the auction!  It will be March 6th at The Crossing.  Here are a few samples of what you'll see...
