My Project

Imagination, Innovation and creativity all blossom when you expose and invite children to explore the arts. From visual to culinary, I want my students to be able to explore as much as possible to discover their passions and talents.

I want to give my students art supplies, cameras, and culinary tools as we deepen our love for the arts.

Every day, our students love to create in our art center, and having new paper, paint sticks and canvases will invite them to find new things to create. We absolutely love to cook in our class and we use real spices and foods. Having chef costumes and their own cooking tools will allow us to cook up some delicious recipes, all while learning how to measure and follow steps. And cameras are a student favorite. Many of them are used to taking pictures on ipads or cell phones so exposing them to a poloaroid camera is going to be a delight. I know they will enjoy taking photos of their peers and exploring the outdoors.

Please help me give my students these innovative resources to enhance their love of the arts!
