FRIENDS!!!!!! The INTERNATIONAL HOLIDAY is EXACTLY one week away! 
I can hardly SLEEP.... and since I am lying awake with anticipation of the day here are a few things I want to remind you of as you prepare to MAKE YOUR MARK:

Start thinking about what you will be wearing , it may need to be ironed or freshened up since last dot day so now is the time!

Students should consider wearing "circle shapes".  Some suggestions include sports shirts like soccer , basketball , etc. or mesh shorts , anything with "dots " is great. 

Have a great day - 

Heather the Art Teacher
