🎨 HELP US STOCK THE ART ROOM! 🎨

We’re looking for a couple of things that can make a BIG difference in our art rooms this year!

📦 THIN CARDBOARD
Please save those clean, thin cardboard boxes you might otherwise recycle—cereal boxes, cracker boxes, pasta boxes, snack boxes, etc. We can turn them into all kinds of art projects!

📁 1-INCH 3-RING BINDERS
If you have any gently used 1-inch 3-ring binders sitting around at home, we would love to give them a second life in the art room!

Even better, if possible, please make sure your student has a 1-inch 3-ring binder specifically for ART to keep their artwork, notes, and projects organized throughout the year.

Donations can be sent to the art room in either building. 💜

Thank you for helping us keep our students creating, experimenting, and making art! Every little bit helps! 🎨✨

The entire Western Plains faculty and staff have spent two days working in their classrooms and completing a variety of professional development sessions to get all ready for the start of the new school year. Next Monday, the group will be putting finishing touches on their preparation, as well as completing KSHSAA requirements in CPR and AED training, The facilities look great, thanks to the hard work of the custodial and maintenance staff over the summer.
