CHILDREN’S CALENDARS AND ART WORK 2010
Hopefully everyone stopped by the children's tent in front of St. John's Memorial Anglican School during the Art Fair. On Saturday the kids painted and drew pictures for the calendars. We also had poetry decorated beautifully with drawings. They were some of the first that people bought. We had both 2010 and 2011(for the people who buy Christmas presents early), as well a huge display of paintings, donated by the kids. which were for silent auction to raise money for the pre-school. Bright colours!! One was an underwater scene, incredible!! Most of the painting were donated by Ana, a young lady of 14 who does amazing art work. Carlos, Ashley, Wade and several pre-school donated the rest. On Sunday, we had some more paintings on auction, the kids made valentines cards, and great scary masks, which they painted and decorated with feathers. There were lots of the younger children, and it was amazing at some of the art work produced. They all had fun, and are already asking when the next painting day is happening.
In total, with sales of calendars, and a lottery of donated rings, we raised $1200bze for St. John's Memorial School. The donated pictures, which drew a big crowd at the 5 p.m. closing raised $500 for the St. John's Memorial Pre-School. Hopefully lots of art & craft projects will be possible. The kids really enjoy all sorts of arts.
I want to first thank all the kids that came, helped, painted and drew. There are to many to name, but some of them are Ana, Carlos, Carla, Zerick, Victor, Carla C,Karisha. Isiah, Blanca, Dina,& Gaby. Without them there would have been no show.
Thanks to the BTIA, who organized the fair, and gave us the spot and tent. Without the tent it would not have been possible to work two days out in the sun. Thanks to all who come out to help during the fair; Shrile, Makenzie, Barbara, Ron, Beva, Alessandra, Selena, Ewa, and to the two pre-school teachers, Head teacher Carla, Teacher McKay who gave up their Saturday to help. With sometimes up to 30 kids the help was greatly appreciated. Thanks to Principal Griffith, and the teachers R. Eiley, N. Sabal, A. Logan, D. Forman,K. Eiley, T. Leslie, J. Cawich, D. Cadle, M. Rowland, C. Ramclam, C. McKay, Lisa and mr. James, for help and for getting the kids to draw and paint for the calendars.Thanks to Print Belize, who printed the calendars at a very reduced rate, and donated lots and lots of paper. Thanks to Stationary House Belize, for discounts on materials, Wallen's for putting up the art work at the shop, Angie for internet, Tiki for raffling the rings, Dawn Pollard of Grill N Go, JP Janice Leslie and to all the people who supported the pre-school by buying a picture or painting at the auction.
I would like to thank my mother Mrs. Barbara Grabowski, my sister and brother-in-law, Barb and Jack McNab, for donating money and supplies. Thank you to Roz, who donated rings that we raffled. With Thanks to Ana Osegueda who donated so much art work for the auction for the pre-school. It's great that the older kids help the younger ones. Tutti Frutti, donated, as the kids say “the best ice cream in the village”.
Anyone wanting to support the school can send money or supplies to Principal Mr. Griffith, St. John's Memorial Anglican School or Head Teacher Carla Ramclam St;. John's Memorial Anglican Pre-School. Please mark the supplies educational supplies as otherwise there is a big duty.
