Dear Students, Parents, Guardians, and Friends, 


The 2020-21 Academic School Year will not start as a traditional year. The current situation with Covid-19 is affecting us in a way we could not have imagined a few months ago. I am sorry that I will not be able to make art in person with our students for now, but I am confident that this will end soon, hopefully. 


Ms. Vidal (our art therapy intern at Mark Twain) and I are making plans to continue to engage our students. With the current technologies, this should not be a problem. We will use this blog and google classrooms as a resource as well as meeting our students through Google Meet or Zoom meetings. But this only the beginning. Hopefully, we will surprise you with more initiatives and make the best of this difficult situation. Art is a powerful tool, especially during difficult times. 


If you have any questions or thoughts to share, you can send me an email 
fdamore-krug@altonschools.org or call my Mark Twain School office at (618) 433-4906. 


I wish you a great 2020-2021 School Year!!!!


Sincerely, Mrs. D'Amore
