Fall 2012 NAEA

MSU ART EDUCATION STUDENTS, 

Our first meeting was held August 29th and we had a very successful turn out. We will be holding an officer meeting Sunday September 16th and we encourage anyone who is able to come please do! Our normal group meetings will be held on Wednesdays, which our next is being held September 26th @ Brick city 6pm. We are going to be doing a lot of fundraising this year to make sure as many people as possible are able to go to the National Conference in Fort Worth. We are also going to have a little NAEA display of work in the halls of the Art Ed Section of Brick city. If you are a member and would like to include your work get a hold of one of us for more information. 

Being a member of NAEA is very important because having connections with other art teachers will potentially help get you a job right out of college or even before graduation! It is also a great way to meet friends that can relate to you, and help you out with new lesson plans or areas of expertise!

Our Officer meetings are held at:

 The club house of The Villages at Nathanael Greene. 

1950 S Scenic Ave. 65807.

NAEA on Etsy

For the past few years we have worked on creating a collection of handmade goodies! Today they were listed on Etsy via the shop of the Co-President, Allison. Please look around!

Art Education Fundraiser

Bake Sale on MONDAY

Bake Sale Monday Feb. 13th 11:30-4

On the sidewalk between PSU and Siceluff

All baked goods are $.50

Etc. Center

Story from the Co-President,Allison:

This week during student teaching I was introduced to the best kept secret in Springfield, MO. THE ETC. CENTER! If you're an art teacher or just a teacher, or a student teacher (even practicum student) I want you to visit this place if you haven't already! Behind Bailey Alternative High School there are a set of doors that read Welcome to the Etc. Center. After calling the school secretary and getting the okay, you'll gain access to what's behind those doors. You sign in and grab a bag and let yourself go. This is an art teacher's dream come true and I have no idea why MSU Art Ed students were not told about it.

 

This shop is run by students at Bailey. Each barrel and shelf is filled (and extremely organized) with recycled goods that are PERFECT for classroom art projects. While I was there with my cooperating teacher we grabbed THIRTY plastic sandwich containers for a paper mache bowl project. 

Some other goodies I saw:
Glass bottles

Pill bottles
Hallmark Cards
Plastic Bags
Plastic Bottle Caps
Paper Bags

Styrofoam
Large Coffee Cans (metal and plastic)
Drink Umbrellas
Three Ring Binders
School Books
Folders
Milk Jugs

and the list goes on and on. The best part is that there are enough of each item to fill a material list for almost any art project! Check it out for yourself!!! Call Bailey High School and explain yourself and ask when it would be convenient for them to let you in. They are open Tuesdays and Thursdays 2-4pm, all other hours must be requested over the phone.

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.
