I LOVE JAC OF HEARTS CLASSES!

             Thank-you Ms. Contadino for teaching me so many things about art and making me laugh along the way. 

You are best art teacher I have ever had. - Cassandra, Age 10, Tonalea Elementary Scottsdale


 I want to thank you for being such an amazing teacher!! It takes a BIG heart to help shape little minds - 

and your love for the Griebel children and all the others - is such a treasured gift! Your love of art inspired them

   and you "created" with smile, words, hands, eyes, and heart to their minds and their hearts!! I so appreciate you!!

You are such a blessing!!! God Bless You Abundantly - Chris (Baba), Navajo Elementary Grandparent


I love Miss Contadino teaching us all the  different art lessons like "Beautiful Oops".

My favorite thing to do was drawing my self portrait and coloring shapes.

- Brishen,  Our Lady of Perpetual Help School, Age 6, Scottsdale
