April Schedule is out and Basic Grey is Here!

April Calendar is finally up and printed. We have lots of copies available at the store if you can't get this one to print out correctly. You can also email me and I will email you back a copy of the schedule. tracy@photoscraps.net

We have lots of great classes available this month and have been getting in tons of new products.

When coming to classes at the store please bring your basic tool kit including your paper trimmer, scissors, and adhesive. If you are taking one of our altered book classes, you will need to bring an extra strong adhesive. Due to the complexity of many of our projects, you may have difficulty finishing the project before the store closes. We will be sure to have printed photos and instructions for you to finish your projects at home.

All of our classes have limited space available and payment is due when you sign up to ensure your spot in the class. If you are unable to attend a class that you have already signed up for, you will be given a full refund if you cancel with 24 hours notice. No refunds will be given with less than 24 hours notice, but we will hold class materials for you to do the projects at home.

The Friendship School, an independent, non-profit school serves children with language-based learning differences, such as dyslexia, in grades 1-8 from Carroll, Frederick, Howard, Montgomery, Prince Georges, and Baltimore Counties. Friendship School was founded in 1998 by a group of dedicated parents and educators. The students are bright and often gifted in many ways with talents in the areas of leadership, arts, drama, music, and/or spatial abilities, but they have difficulties with reading, writing, and spelling and need to be taught in a very specific and systematic way to break the reading code. We use a one-to-one tutoring method, called the Orton-Gillingham approach, that was developed in the 1920s and that has been proven as a best practice method in agreement with the findings of the National Institutes of Health and the National Reading Panel. The Friendship School, through the Margaret Byrd Rawson Institute, is working to share this way of teaching with other schools, higher education, and the greater community through outreach efforts, so that more children have the opportunity to have success in reading and academics and to have many more choices in life. Students are provided with the learning strategies, organizational skills, and study skills they will need to maximize their potential as they move on to other traditional educational settings. Friendship School strives to create an environment in which each student can use their strengths to grow in competence, resilience, and self-esteem.
