Square 1 Art

/in , , /by

Dear Vista Verde Families,

K-5 students and teachers have been busy creating beautiful masterpieces for our Square 1 Art Fundraiser! Artwork is coming home in early November with details on how you can order your custom keepsakes. A percentage of every purchase will go towards Vista Verde!

We also encourage Grades 6-8 to participate using these simple steps!

  • Take a photo of new or past artwork (colorful/vibrant art prints the best)
  • Upload and customize at the website above
  • Shop for keepsakes and holiday gifts (online ordering only)
  • FREE shipping to Vista Verde before Winter recess (must include advisement teacher’s name and grade)
  • LAST DAY FOR ART UPLOAD AND ORDERS: 11/19/2021

Any questions, please send an email to square1.vvpta@gmail.com. Thank you for supporting our school!
