Art in the Classroom

Art in the Classroom (AIC) is PTO-sponsored and parent volunteer run, so we need your help! Our goal is to provide an art history program that offers Jefferson School students a snapshot of prominent works of art by a wide range of famous artists. You do not need to know anything particular about art, as all the materials, lessons and project ideas are provided for you. The kids love this program, but we really need to secure volunteers for each grade and classroom in order to make it a success. 

 If you are interested in volunteering, check out our Google AIC Classroom to view all the lesson plans. Sign up to volunteer here

It's never too late to join the PTO!
