We are delighted to have Mrs. Vaishali Mahimkar as Browning’s Picture Lady Coordinator. The Picture Lady is a PTA sponsored, nationally endorsed volunteer program which brings art into the classroom. Each year, adult volunteers present an artist or type of art to as many classrooms that they can. After the initial set-up, it takes only about 30 minutes per class to talk with the students about the chosen subject. At the end of the school year, the students are then asked to vote for their favorite print and then that print is purchased, framed, and hung on the school wall. Many of the artwork that is currently displayed throughout Browning are Picture Lady Prints chosen by students.
To volunteer (you do NOT need to be a woman) or for more information, please send in a note to the Browning office, Attn: PTA Picture Lady. This fun art enrichment program benefits our students and, ultimately, you as well!
