My Project

Help Reignite the Arts at College Park Middle School!

Hi friends and supporters,

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been given the opportunity to rebuild the middle school art program at College Park Middle, a Title 1 school that hasn't had an art class in three years.

This is a community where many students face daily challenges, and yet they carry incredible stories, talent, and potential. These students deserve access to the arts, a space to be creative, to feel seen, to express their individuality, and to grow.

But right now, we're starting from scratch. No supplies. No materials. No established classroom.

That's where I need your help.

Your donation will go directly toward building an inclusive, inspiring, and well-equipped art room. We need everything from basic supplies like pencils, paints, paper, and art drying storage, to create a space that feels safe, expressive, and alive with creativity. My biggest ask is for sketchbooks so these artists can explore their own creative journey in and outside of the classroom.

Whether you can give $5 or $50, every contribution helps light a creative spark in a student who needs to be reminded that they matter and their voice matters.

Thank you for believing in the power of art and the importance of uplifting all students, especially those who need it most.

With gratitude and hope,

Patricia Noel
