My Students
My students are leaders in their community.
We are a Leader in Me school, where we all practice the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (really there are 8) every day to set goals, achieve them, and be successful citizens.
We are also a magnet school for visual and performing arts, ensuring that all of our children receive arts-based instruction every day.
Most of our students are labeled as Title I and at-risk with low socioeconomic status and are minorities. Basically, they don't get enough of most things that they desperately need. Lots of them have experienced too much failure and people who have let them down. But we don't let excuses get in our way!
My Project
About 1/3 of my students are now in the building, but with strict social distancing guidelines enforced (NO SHARING OF SUPPLIES!), and the other 2/3 are learning from home. My challenge is to provide every one of them with individual supplies.
Paint is one of the basics in any art room, but getting it to the kids in manageable sizes and a variety of colors isn't easy during a pandemic.
This project will provide one set of paints and a few paintbrushes for each of my art students, enabling them to work with more materials than just paper and crayons.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
