My Project

My students are energetic fifth graders who bring a variety of gifts with them into the classroom. One of these gifts is creativity.

I would love to give my students the opportunity to learn to express themselves through art and promote wellness in the community while utilizing their creative talents.

With these paint sets, brushes, and mini canvases, my students will create art for our local health clinics. By creating art that they will see out in our community, my students will learn how their small act of kindness can help others feel uplifted when they aren’t feeling well.
