Half Days of Art

Half Days of Art are designed to coordinate with the days that the CAL district releases
students at noon. Two exciting art experiences, a nutritious snack, and time to really
get into an art form combine to make these popular programs for K-6 students.  Half
Days are held at Applegate Elementary from noon until 3:00.  Lorane students may
ride the bus to Half Days. All students must be picked up by parents at 3:00 please.
Sign up for one class or all of them!  The price is $16 per afternoon per student.  For
more than one child, knock off a dollar and save.  Scholarships are also available.
