Our Art Room Needs Outfitting!
Funded Feb 8, 2017Thank you so much for your generous donations to our classroom. The materials that we were able to purchase have made our classroom a better place for my students. The items purchased with your generous donation include a seating rug for our classroom and an industrial grade pencil sharpener. Both of these items were sorely needed, and without your donation, my students would not have them. Budgets are tight in our school district, and oftentimes I am left to try to figure out how to provide my students with a quality arts education. Your generosity has softened my heart and helped me be a better teacher and provide a better space for my students to learn in.”

Art Supplies for K-E!
Funded Nov 12, 2016With your help we have been able to complete amazing art work over the course of our school year. My students were overwhelmed when I told them we received our fabulous new art materials from generous benefactors such as yourselves. We have learned about and created art work based on animals found in the Lion King, created art work for the Christmas season, and are currently learning about Medieval Times and drawing castles, decorating our own crowns and imagining what our lives would be like if we were knights or princesses. Myself and my students are forever grateful to you.”

Art Helps Me Grow!
Funded Dec 24, 2015My project has been funded, and my students and I are all tremendously excited! With your donations we have been able to turn my class into a more engaging place, where the students can get their hands on some awesome art materials. I am confident that this will increase interest, and thus understanding in all areas of our learning.
The look on my students' faces when they saw our materials was like Christmas morning. They have been over the moon about having brand new materials to use. It makes them feel so special and me so grateful to be able to provide them with your help.
This funding has come right on time. Looking ahead at my lessons for the coming months, I will be able to use all of these materials in an exciting and appropriate way to fuel student learning and achievement. One more time, thanks so much!”

Help Our Students Paint!
Funded Sep 2, 2015My students have been BEYOND thrilled since we received our new water color sets at Kelly Edwards Elementary! I swear it was like Christmas! They were so impressed with how nice the paints were and how new they were. They have been so careful to take care of them and couldn't believe they EVEN came with a brush inside each set. Your generosity has certainly helped them realize they are important, and I appreciate that.
My students have been using our new water colors since the day we received them. Each grade has been learning about a different character or theme in the Wizard of Oz as a school-wide related arts unit - we have used the water colors in each grade and they are learning so much! We also used them in 2nd grade to create crayon-resist fall leaves, that was a blast!
The students are learning in leaps and bounds this year. Your helping me be able to provide them with brand new art materials is something I am so proud of, and they are as well. Watching them take care of their art materials and learn new techniques and watching their little eyes light up is the reason I love my job. Your donation has helped my kids immensely, and for that I can't thank you enough.”
