Please Note: Now that we are starting classes again, we will be wearing masks, adhere to social distancing and also will limit class size. Because there can be no sharing of supplies each student will need to have their own regular class kits, including a personal trimmer, Scor Board, scissors, Glitter Gel Pen, bone folder, various dry and liquid adhesives, including pop dots and glue dots, plus scrap paper or your own personal craft mat.
