ARTrageous Fun

Who said SCHOOL can't be FUN .... NOT ME! I am not a teacher; however, I worked in an elementary school for over 10 years as a financial secretary. I have always loved arts, crafts, photography and I am a digital clip art junkie! I have so much respect for today's educators. I enjoy helping teachers at my school make things look "CUTE". It is my hope the items for sale in my TPT store can help make your classroom a happy place too!

As a long time financial secretary for a K-5 elementary school, I understand that school is often a "home away from home." With the blessing of a supportive principal, I sought to create a warm and inviting environment for students so they would know ... You are the Reason We Are Here!

I focused my efforts on transforming our school into a fun and festive environment. Each year the faculty selected a theme and I spent her summer break creating themed character education banners to display in the school foyer and hallways. By the time August arrived, the school was decorated accordingly and there was no way a student could walk through the doors without excitement for the new school year.

From a financial standpoint, I witnessed a huge savings on the amount of money the school was spending on decorations for various school functions. With one theme in place for the entire school year, decorations were utilized for more than just one event.

Upon the request of teachers at my school, I expanded my creative talents into the classroom by creating colorful resources for teachers and students. From desk name plates, to Common Core standard posters, you too, can purchase her my latest creations.

My goal ...keeping your classroom cute, colorful and fun!
