I want to participate in MyCards™. What do I do now?

How much will it cost me to participate?

Nothing! There is absolutely no cost to your school.

How long will it take to teach the lesson?

Two to three 40 minute class periods. Here is a suggested timeline:

Day 1: Teach the lesson. Students choose an idea and sketch their designs.

Day 2: Work on designs and finish designs.

Day 3: Finish designs. Send home completed designs in the order envelopes provided. Watch your orders add up on your Teacher Dashboard!

Do parents get to see their child’s design before ordering?

Yes. You will send home the completed card design inside the MyCards™ order envelope.

What can I do for the students who do not order cards?

You may like to trim the design from the template and mount it on construction paper to be displayed on the wall, given as a gift, or used as a large original card.

Do I have to tally orders and count money?

No. Parents order online. You simply send each child home with their artwork and order envelope.

How do you calculate the profit to my art program?

Your school earns a set amount per order. If you want, spell out the exact current amount here so this answer can rank better and reduce confusion.
