The Season of Giving!

Ladies, in the name of art (FASHION) donate your used prom dresses this Saturday to support the HUG fund. You know you'll never wear them again. Read the article below for exact dates and times.



Donate prom dresses to benefit HUG fund



Kickapoo High School is soliciting prom dress donations for a spring sale to benefit its Helping Us Graduate fund. The HUG fund was initiated to assist independent students pay for important senior year activities such as prom, senior portraits or graduation.

The first day to donate prom dresses is Saturday, Dec. 10, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Library Center, 4653 S. Campbell Ave, or 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at The Library Station, 2535 N. Kansas Expressway. Donations will be accepted at the same times and locations on Jan. 14 and Feb. 25.


The prom dress sale will be Friday, March 30, and Saturday, March 31.  

Living on their own without parental support, many KHS independent students struggle to pay for necessities and lack the resources to pay for the extras that make senior year special, explained KHS school nurse Tammy Holley, who helped create the fund along with a former KHS student council member.
“These are things independent students miss out on since they are paying for their own living expenses,” Holley said. “This fundraiser will help us bolster the HUG fund so that we can also help independent students meet some of their daily needs like transportation and necessities.”
For more information, contact Holley at (417) 523-8530 or tholley@spsmail.org.

Register for the NATIONAL CONFERENCE

CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW TO REGISTER!!!


These are some of the pages you will see while registering. The most important is the EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT page! For Art Education students that register before January 30th your price will be $75!!!!!! To become an NAEA member you'll pay a $25 fee for the whole year. That is $100 total, not too bad! We're thinking of renting an apartment in Brooklyn from AirBnB.com which will be $255 for the four days and three nights. Tickets to New York are fairly cheap right now so HURRY and buy your plane ticket. We will be applying for SOFAC funding from Missouri State ASAP. These funds plus the money we raised will help keep out of pocket costs very low. Email any of the officers for additional information! Click the contact link to the right of the page for a list of emails.

REMINDER: if you do not participate in fundraising, you will NOT receive any funding from NAEA towards conference. The next fundraiser is the bake sale on Monday the 21st from 11am-4pm. Our next meeting is this SUNDAY the 20th which will also be our BAKE NIGHT! Location and time TBA

Hello,
    This Sunday, November 6th, there will be an NAEA meeting at 5 pm at Brick City.  We will be distributing what is left of the art auction items after this Friday so that all the items can be delivered; and we will be discussing a possible rescheduling of our bake sale and a recycled art project that we could get involved with in the near future. 

Reminder: Come out for the NAEA art auction this Friday at LemonDrop!  It is from 6-10 pm, and there will be live music throughout the evening and art hanging in the gallery in addition to the silent auction.  We will also be selling other items such as handmade earrings, headbands, and t-shirts.  We have a lot of awesome items on the silent auction, so come and place some bids!  The proceeds will help NAEA members go the National NAEA conference and a portion of the proceeds will go to a local arts program in Springfield in need of support.  For more details, visit http://lemondrop.org/events/.

Thanks,
Meredith Muenks
Co-President
