Working at the PTO




The artsco booth at the PTO picnic was face-painting, tie-dye and hair braiding. While I didn't do braiding, as I'm really not very good at it, i was doing face-painting, helping the kids out with tie-dye as well as supervising for the entire 3 hours. The tie-dye was really fun, we had looked up some designs beforehand and it was really cool how most of the shirts turned out. Costumers would buy a white t-shirt, we would then help them tie it up into a cool design with ruber bands and let them color it. All of our costumers seemed really pleased with the outcome! Face-painting was much more stressful, as it takes pretty long to give a child a full face make over, turning them into a tiger, a pirate or a butterfly, and the lines were always really long. However, it was also really fun, especially since all of the kids were happy with their new selves and happy despite how long it sometimes took! We made about 12,000 shillings from this event, which we will use for our service projects, buying paints and supplies so it was very successful.
