Art Club-
Parent involvement is welcomed and appreciated! The current lead on this will leave MME next school year, so PLEASE come see what it’s about and think about helping continue the fun.
Permission Forms to Participate: Art Club Permission Form. Please bring this form directly to the art club.
PTA Form to participate in ANY PTA activity (please fill it out once a year for PTA activities). PTA Student Participation Form . Please bring this form directly to the Art club or take it to the MME office.
Who: Any* MME student who would like to join. *Please note for lower grade students, your adult may be asked to accompany you depending on student numbers and needs. We would LOVE extra adult volunteers to help.
What do you need to join? Nothing is needed to join. Donated paper and art supplies are appreciated. This club is intended to be a maker’s space. Students should bring whatever art project they are working on (preferably not a messy one!). If you don’t have a current project, we will have paper, pencils, and markers to create art.
When and Where: Thursdays, we will have art club in the art room (C-1, in the first grade courtyard), every other week right after school (2:35-4:00). Next sessions 9/10/26, 9/24/26, 10/8/26, 10/22/26, ect.
Younger grade students (TK-3) should arrive at around 2:35 and stay for an hour or less. 1.5 hours of independent art is a LOT for a young person! We will stagger with DnD club so that kids will be able to participate in both clubs if they want to! Our first meeting will be October 2nd. Older grade students (4-6) should arrive at around 3:05 pm and should have almost an hour of art time before club end at 4 pm.
How: One parent will be in the art room to help and supervise kids who are ready to focus in on their art pieces. This will be a self-directed space, with some assistance and occasional planned projects.
Why: Art is awesome! There is joy in having a space where artists can share their ideas, work beside each other, and focus on art creation. Art can be used for self expression, coordination, processing our emotions, and so much more.
