Projects
The lessons are designed to enhance and complement current classroom learning. Sessions go beyond s normal art class and are hands-on fun! Lessons include a presentation and art project. The presentation content and all necessary project materials are provided by the PTSA and volunteers will be trained prior to giving the lesson to familiarize them with the lesson.Projects vary by grade level and school.

Volunteering
PTSA is always in need of parent volunteers. Art Ambassadors is a great way to spend time in your child's classroom. No art experience is necessary to volunteer. Each school has an Art Ambassador parent coordinator. Contact your school's coordinator to volunteer.
