Dear Tremont Families,

I hope this letter finds you well, even during these uncertain times. I pray that strength and patience will be granted to help manage navigating your scholars through remote learning. As you know, we will be apart for another 9 weeks. I miss all my students and look forward to seeing them in the near future.

Please know that I will do my best to keep art class as stress free as possible while we are in virtual learning. I will work with you to achieve success. Keep in mind art will...
*provide an outlet and escape for your scholar!
*strengthen real-world problem solving-
"A-HA" moments.
*create a vehicle for family connections.

Read through my 'Guide to Art' for valuable information.

Thank You,
Christine Linn
