Our much-loved Clay Art program needs your help! 🎨

Clay Art is a PTA-supported, parent volunteer-led enrichment program that gives every Sunny Hills student the opportunity to create special clay projects throughout the school year.

To offer Clay Art this year, we need volunteer leadership in place for every grade level — and we still have a few important roles to fill.

No art or clay experience is necessary! Lesson plans, materials, and support are provided.

👉 https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0D4FA8A828ABF4C34-65517021-20262027 #/

Please help us ensure that every Sunny Hills student gets to experience Clay Art this year. Response deadline 9/19/26. Thank you for supporting the programs that make our school community so special!
