Mrs. Carlyn Lechtenberg would also like like to inform all parents that we now have ARTSONIA... an educational, safe, online art gallery for all student work. All student work will be uploaded to this site all year. When students have Mrs. Lechtenberg in class, they will be given a parent access code to sign up. Parents can also visit artsonia.com/schools/elkader1 to find our school artwork.
Parents can order their child's artwork on objects/items such as mugs, blankets, phone cases, etc. and 20% of the proceeds go back to our art room.
