Q: Will we have time for a break?

Q: Do I need to book any volunteers for the Art To Go Program?

A: We recommend having one or two volunteers in class to help students when needed. Volunteers who wish to participate in the art project are asked to bring $5.00 cash to cover material cost. If the school wishes to cover this cost, just let your instructor know and we’ll add it to the invoice. Teachers may participate in the art project at no extra cost.
