v  A journal/sketchbook (at least 8” x 10” with white, unlined pages, no larger than 9” x 12”)- available to purchase in class for $5.00 (supplies limited). A sketchbook can also be purchased at Wal-Mart or Michaels. Please do not purchase sketchbooks that are glued at the top because they will fall apart.

v  Due to the rising cost of materials required to provide a quality art program, it is necessary to ask for a monetary classroom donation. Ten dollars is suggested, but any donations are greatly appreciated. Checks should be made out to BCHS and have your address and phone number. Please write a separate check for sketchbooks and donations. Thanks in advance!
