MOUNT MORRIS – Did you know that March is Student Art Month?
To celebrate, Encore! Mt. Morris has created a host of fun learning experiences for children, 3-5th and 6-8th grade on March 10 and 17. Classes are $10 (all supplies included in the price) and will be held at the Pinecrest Grove Community Center on South McKendrie Street. No experience is necessary.

Instructors are all artists. Those interested in both a morning and an afternoon class may bring a sack lunch or order lunch through the McKendrie Street Café in the building. Visit EncoreMtMorris.com and click the “Art Classes” link for further details, including the schedule and registration instructions.
A poster with all of the details is also mounted in each art classroom in the Oregon/Mt. Morris school district, Sullivans grocery, Pinecrest Community Center, Village Hall and the information kiosk next to the bandshell in Mt. Morris. If you do not have access to the Internet, you may register at the Mt. Morris Village Hall. Questions? mollyb@encoremtmorris.com
