  Light Bulb Art

Use this reproducible light bulb to create a vibrant visual at your event, and convey your afterschool message. Deliver your light bulbs to your local Congressional District Office as a follow-up to your event!

NOTE: In years past, the Alliance has collected this amazing display to deliver to Capitol Hill. Now that Lights On is so big, we've outgrown our capacity to deliver these light bulbs for you.

We ask that you send the art directly to the Congressional District Offices in your state. Use the opportunity to insert your own personal cover letter (Click here for cover letter template), or for a more powerful effect, arrange a meeting with the office to hand deliver the light bulbs. You'll get to see the great response that we've seen in years past when lawmakers and their staff see the creativity and energy of your students!

Remember, adults have an activity, too - ask them to support afterschool by signing on to Afterschool for All: Project 2010, and join nearly 2,000 prominent individuals and organizations in calling for more afterschool programs.

Light Bulb Directions: Copy the bulbs and let your community get creative. Turn the completed bulbs into a string of afterschool lights, use them to cover the walls of your hallway, or display them as a colorful backdrop for kids' presentations during Lights On Afterschool!
