My Project

Our art students are full of creativity, passion, and potential - but they need your help to be successful! Many of our students don't have access to these resources outside the classroom, and your support can make a direct, meaningful impact on their self-expression! With your donation, you're not just providing supplies, you're investing in their confidence, imagination, and future!

We will use the clay to create animal figures, the neon paint to make glow-in-the-dark art, and the building toys for pre-K play!
