A) a house in Southwest Pennsylvania built over a waterfall, B) an amazing architectural creation by Frank Lloyd Wright, or C) an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a small Freedom club. The correct answer: all of the above. The Art Club is trying to raise money to fund a trip to the architectural phenomenon that is Fallingwater. How do they intend on doing this? By doing what they do best: art. They are creating laminated signs to sell to students. For the extremely reasonable price of $1, students can request these “name tags” for their lockers. Name tags is a loose term, however, as these signs can literally say or look like almost anything the student wants, within reason. The signs will be roughly 4 inches by 5 inches, and, depending on demand, will be ready in less than a week from time that they have been applied for. “They’re cheap, and they’re really nice,” Art Club member Ashley Throne said. The rest of the club agrees; they plan on putting a lot of time and effort into these signs, and sufficient participation mixed with a healthy dose of support from the school is a necessity for success. These signs are being sold now, and all a student must do to purchase one is fill out the sign-up sheet they received in their first block and return it to the teacher in that class. This is the Art Club’s way of asking for the school’s help to fund their field trip to Fallingwater. So be supportive: go buy a sign!
