Here are some things you need to know about Paint-O-Rama:

1.  Paint-o-Rama begins Tuesday at 8:30 am. We will meet in the Great Hall. Each day will begin at 8:30.

2.  We will come back to the building shortly after noon for lunch. Lunch will be approximately 12:15
   until 12:45 each day.

3.  We will return to the building by 4:00. (We plan to have the same schedule for all three days. If we
   finish early, we will let everyone know via email, and we will have your son/daughter get in touch with you.)

4. If there is rain and we have schedule changes, we will send email updates to parents via email. 

5. Students are asked to not bring vehicles to the Paint-O-Rama work site.  If you need to drop them off or pick them up, that's fine.  (The addresses are 1317 Aggie Way, 1220 Henderson, and 1524 Mervins Run.) 

6. Students will need:
        - a water bottle 
        - sunscreen (or put it on before you come)
        - a large paintbrush and a small paintbrush* (labeled with your name)
         - a container to hold paint in**
        - a willingness to work
        - closed toed shoes, or "chaco" like sandals which hold the front and back of the foot

7. If you have a ladder that we can use (and you have not already let us know via the Paint-O-Rama sign-up form) please bring it Tuesday morning. Ladders can go in the youth trailer.  Please, oh please make sure it is marked with your name.  (And there were about 10 families who said "maybe" on the sign-up form.  If your maybe can become a yes, that would be great. 

8. It's going to be hot this week.  We will take breaks.  We will encourage students to drink lots of water.  We will encourage students to pay attention to how they are feeling. 

9. We could still use a parent or two to help us each day.  If you're willing to sign-up for a day and help us, please let us know.  If you do not have work or if you can take a day off to help us, please let us know as soon as possible.  Or go here: https://amchurch.ccbchurch.com/need_detail.php?need_id=825

​

Thanks to everyone for signing up to join us at Paint-O-Rama. We have a great group of students and we are excited about the work we will be able to do to God's glory.  (a list of students can be found below to help you know who is signed up.)

​

Get excited! It's going to be a great week!

*The big paint brush can be a 3 or 4 inch brush.  The small one can be a 1 or 1.5 inch brush.  You can buy fancy brushes if you want, but you can save money by buying an economy brush.  You can even get one from the dollar store, if you can find one there. (they usually have them)   Oh, and write your name on your brush and keep up with it so you don't have to bring a new one every day. We'll give students plastic wrap to wrap their brush so they can take it home and wash it each night. 

**Something like a coffee can, large butter container, large yogurt container, or plastic food storage container would work.  It will probably be trashed at the end of the week.
