4th Grade T-Shirt Designs!
We have some very talented 4th graders who used their artistic skills to design water bottle stickers and a T-shirt as a way for us to help students in need at our school. This "help" could be in the form of gas cards, grocery cards, clothes, winter outerwear, tennis shoes or whatever the need may be.
Sometimes families fall on hard times and the staff and students at John Harris brainstormed to come up with a way to help ease the burden for people we care about.
Stickers of the winning design will be for sale during Conferences on Thursday, February 9th in the Multipurpose Room for $2.00
Below is a link to the T-shirt store. As you "shop", be mindful of 2 different designs, 3 colors to choose from, and Adult and Youth sizes. The DEADLINE to purchase is February 20th at 11:59 p.m.
