Want to support fellow educators to attend professional development opportunities? Then be a part of our PDSF raffle!
Donate A Basket!
First we need your donations of quality baskets. We are looking for the following types of baskets:
Past Basket: Gather items centered on a particular theme. Choose from one of the following or create your own theme. Possibilities include, but are not limited to art period/timeframe, country/region, style of art, particular artist, an art movement, or media (still life, painting, fibers, drawing, etc.)
Present Basket: This basket is about the now! Put together a basket that includes everything needed to teach a great art lesson today (with minimum preparation)! Include items such as lesson plan, books, prints, power point, sample project, etc.
Future Basket: Help an art teacher to build his/her art arsenal for future use. Classroom sets of art supplies and/or tools are perfect for this basket.
Fun Basket: As you guessed, this one is about fun! Think teacher survival. Include items a teacher needs to survive being an art teacher. One direction to take this would be classroom needs like sticky notes, funny thoughts, push pins, fun pens/pencils, caffeine, chocolate, etc. A different direction would be at the end of a hard day what helps teachers to relax? Supplies or certificates for a bubble bath, dinner, movie, massage, manicures and anything else you may think of. The possibilities are endless!
The basket with the most tickets will win "The Best Basket Case” award and receive a special prize so have fun making a basket all teachers would bid on!
All donated baskets will be dropped off at Lou’s cafe and be on display throughout the conference.
Buy Raffle Tickets:
The second way to support PDSF is to buy raffle tickets during the conference!
The baskets will be displayed throughout the conference in Lou's Cafe. The baskets auctioned off on Friday will be separated so those who are only attending Friday, will have a chance to win one of these baskets! The remaining baskets will be raffled off Saturday following the last workshop. You must be present to win!
