Art in Action Day at Avoca West
Art in Action Day at Avoca will be on Thursday, February 1 from 8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. For those of you unfamiliar with this event, our gymnasium is transformed into an art studio where visiting artists set up shop and help our students create fine arts projects to take home. The kids love this event! 

We need your help to assist our special guest artists and our students at each station. Please consider signing up for the entire day or half a day. No art skills are needed! Lunch will be provided for all volunteers.
