ART QUEST Dear Parents, Thank you for enrolling your child in ART QUEST 2011! We are looking forward to a wonderful summer filled with lots of art and creative projects. We have a terrific staff of experienced and dedicated teachers and energetic assistants who are busy planning the curriculum and who are looking forward to working with your children. We have an excellent ratio of staff to students to insure that each child will be well supervised and will receive all the assistance and guidance that is needed. In addition to our classroom work with hands-on art, students will be working periodically on lessons that will enhance knowledge and appreciation of art through stories, discussion, games, and other activities. Reminder: All late arrivals and early dismissals must take place through the Welcome Center. Each morning we will have a supervised recess from 10:00AM to 10:30AM. During this time, children can use the playground area, play games, or sketch in the garden. We will provide a light snack. Children may also bring snacks from home if they prefer. At 10:30AM, the children will return to classrooms where they will continue working on their artwork until “cleanup” at 11:45 AM. Dismissal is at 12:00PM at which time the children who go home will be escorted back to the Field House for pickup. Students who will be joining Day Camp for the afternoon will be escorted to the dining room for lunch and to the Grove to begin their afternoon activities. Those students who will be having lunch and staying for Art Quest Afternoon or another afternoon program will have a 45 -minute supervised lunch period before we begin afternoon classes at 1:00PM. Afternoon art classes end at 4PM. Pick up will be at the Bus Lane. All materials for Art Quest classes are included in the price of tuition. Students will each get a sketchbook to use during free time and in their classes. On the final day of Art Quest, Friday July 29th, we will have a special reception and art exhibit of the work created by students who have attended our program during the summer of 2011. Parents and friends will be invited to come to this exhibit/reception. An invitation will be sent home. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at the number/email’s listed below. Our goal is to make sure each child has a wonderful experience while attending ART QUEST 2011! We are looking forward to a great summer! Sincerely,
