The silent auction and notecard sales -- cards made using the art of previous years students -- raised $3,010.56, which will pay for supplies for next year's Art Vistas program.
Art Vistas is an all volunteer, parent-run program at Eastin Elementary, which presents six 1.5-hour lessons in each K-5 classroom throughout the year. Each lesson contains an art history lesson, an appreciation component and a hands-on project.
