I wanted to let families know that students and staff are all safe from the Earthquake. We do monthly safety drills so students know what to do in case of an emergency. We already had the Great California ShakeOut Drill planned for tomorrow, but mother nature decided to surprise us with an actual earthquake today.

Orchard Parks Art department is raising money for classroom supplies by selling school sweatshirts and long sleeve shirts! All designs done by students. What's better than getting good karma by allowing art students to get the supplies they need? Getting a nice shirt or sweatshirt while doing it! Perfect to do art in and comfy enough to wear anywhere.
Prices are $35 for hoodie sweatshirts, $25 for long sleeve shirts.
