My Project
After 17 years teaching elementary classrooms, I’ve finally become an art teacher—and I’m starting from scratch in two schools with almost 1,000 eager students.
As the first art teacher at both schools, I need your help to launch two vibrant art programs.
From pencil sharpeners and paint to clay, glue, and classroom storage, every donation brings our blank slate to life.
I’m thrilled to give these kids a creative outlet that enriches their lives, sparks imagination, and expands their understanding of the world through art. With your help this program can be a huge success!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
