My Project

This year, due to devastating budget constraints, my students and I have our largest fundraising goal yet! We can use all the help we can get to make sure that we get some materials that can help us create holiday cards and ornaments as well as other merchandise to help raise money to sustain our classroom needs throughout the year!

This will be a great opportunity for my students to create their own small business ideas and art-related products to sell, giving them the experience of being working artists, promoting what they have made at our yearly art show, and possibly even expanding into our local farmer's market.

These materials will give students the building blocks they need to create art to be made available to our larger community. With your support, the students can create a vision for the kind of art they want to put into the world and how they might be able to positively affect their community with their creative voices and what they choose to create.
