It's not too late to purchase notecards from the 2005 Gifts of Gold visual arts show of the Wake Education Partnership, a community-based public school advocacy organization. The notecards display artwork from Wake County Students, including Kyain Sandiago from Root Elementary School and West Millbrook Middle School student Samantha Carlton.

Kyain's artwork is entitled "Tooth Fairy" and Samantha's is called "Mischievous."

Students across the county submitted artwork for the Gifts of Gold visual arts show in March. Six pieces of art were chosen to be reprinted on notecards.

The notecards come in a set of 12, with two of each design, and sell for $10. Proceeds go towards the partnership and Wake County Schools' support for arts education.
