My Project

My students represent the beautiful diversity of the world, coming from various cultural backgrounds. This summer I will be engaging 100+ students ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade in art camp!

While camp holds fond memories for many of us, to Chicago Public School students, summer camp means a stable environment, guaranteed meals, and a safe space to explore and learn with your peers.

Please help us by providing crafting supplies such as tie dye, origami paper, bracelet materials, and much more to ensure we have a fun, safe, and CREATIVE summer!
