Art For Our Students!

Help me give my students joyful moments in their day. Students have been loving making art, play games, and create bracelets. After over a year of going virtual, making something to take home means so much to them!

My Students

Our students matter. Our students are readers and explorers. Their excitement to read engaging books is clear. They also love to make and create. Our students are artists. They are very active. We want to give our students opportunities to authentically share their learning. Our student population is diverse. Our population breakdown is 26.7% African American, 26.3% Hispanic/Latino, 30.8% White, and 11.5% two or more races. 63.4% of our students are economically disadvantaged. 12.4% of our students have disabilities. 26.1% of our students have limited English proficiency. Students in kindergarten and first grade learn half their day in English and half of their day in Spanish.

Our students are very active, intelligent, creative, and determined.

Each year, we will add another grade of dual language immersion (DLI) classes until there is at least one section of DLI within each grade level. Finally, we are a nationally recognized Welcoming School, and we intentionally teach ally behavior especially by supporting the LGBT community and individuals.

My Project

Our students are amazingly resilient! Students of all genders have absolutely loved making bracelets and necklaces. They give them as gifts and wear them with pride. Making is crucial and it thanks to you that we can give this gift to our students.

One of the most joyful experiences about having in-person school is creating and playing.

We are taking careful time teaching interpersonal skills. We do this with games, modeling, and guiding speech. Giving students time to play support their resilience, empathy, and kindness.

Through your support students can find joy at school. Your donation goes a long way to keep them smiling and happy. Let's make art and have fun in libraries at their school!
