In a week, I see 700 children, ages kindergarten to 5th grade. We are a Title 1 public school and the majority of our children are on free or reduced lunch. They are excited about coming to music and art every week and I am thrilled to see each of them! My students love to sing, dance, draw, paint, and laugh. I see each class once a week for 45 minutes and we try to cram as much fun and education into that time as possible. I work with their teachers to reinforce what is learned in class when possible. We need these new tables so that the kids have a proper working space for art and writing.
