In Home Private Summer Art Lessons by Stephanie Davis
The Museum School of Fine Arts, Class of 2016

Is your child interested in exploring and expanding their artistic side? Whether he or she is a young arts and crafts lover or an older more serious creator, she will work with them one on one to help them further their skills and knowledge, creative thinking, and develop a personal artistic language. She will design a unique lesson plan specific to your child’s interests. Possible session topics may include painting, watercolor, ink drawing, figure drawing, collage, multi-media painting, sketch-booking, clay work, book making and book binding, jewelry making (from beading to designing fine metal pieces), and sustainable crafts and sculpture.

http://stephanieraedavis.weebly.com $50/hr + cost of some supplies (should not exceed $20 a lesson) Call or email 203- 615-2024 or stephanie.davis@smfa.edu

2015 Newton Schools Foundation Honor Thy Teacher

May 4-8 is Teacher Appreciation Week. Say “Thank You” to the exceptional teachers and staff who motivate, educate and inspire your students to be the best they can be by participating in the Honor Thy Teacher campaign. Newton Schools Foundation created this special program for parents to honor teachers by giving a gift in their name. You may also choose to honor a special education aide, a fine arts or music teacher, or a coach or counselor who has touched your child’s life. Suggested donation is $25 per teacher/staff member.

NSF celebrates Newton Public Schools teachers and staff by:

  • Notifying honored teachers and staff of your gift
  • Sharing honoree names with the Superintendent and Principals.
  • Listing all honored teachers and staff in the Newton TAB

You can make your donation on line at www.newtonschoolsfoundation.org or by mailing your donation to Newton Schools Foundation, 246 Dudley Road, Newton, MA 02459.  Please include the names of teachers and/or staff at which school that you are honoring.  Flyers will be going home in elementary school backpacks in the next week.

Newton Schools Foundation is a non-profit organization that raises funds to enhance the quality of education in Newton’s public schools.  All donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
