Help me give my students the drawing supplies we need to finish out the year.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Remer's classroom raised $481
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
For the most part, my students are lower income, Latino, and focused on day-to-day survival. Most of my students live in the "Monument Corridor" in Concord, an island of poverty, amidst the wealth of the San Francisco Bay Area, and a region known for crime and even gang activity. Furthermore, many of the students who end up in art class are part of the special education program and are used to feeling excluded from the opportunities of the general populace.
My students are mostly from immigrant families, children who have experienced many hardships at a young age, and yet they tend to be honest, caring, and optimistic.
They are worldly wise, but ignorant of many things needed to be successful. They lack confidence in their academic abilities and often don't see college as a viable option or art as a practical pursuit.
My students are humble and open-minded but need encouragement to reach their fullest potential. They deserve to explore their creative potential and learn to appreciate and create beauty in their lives.
My Project
It's been a great year so far, and my students have learned a lot, but our department budget is all but spent, and we are running out of the basic art supplies needed to finish up the year.
Paper and pens, in particular, seem to go quickly and we desperately need to replace these supplies to continue to fuel the creativity of our budding artists!
Aside from drawing paper, regular bond paper has also gone quickly, as each student makes their own sketchbook in my class to store their brainstorms and other class activities. The students have been proud of their personal sketchbooks and use them daily, but it means going through a lot of paper.
I'm hoping these supplies will get us through to the end of the year and maybe even help get us started for the beginning of next year.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
