My Project
Our school is home to a diverse group of creative and enthusiastic kindergarten through fifth grade learners who love to express themselves through art and want to create personal sketchbooks and artist books. Many of our students do not have access to personal sketchbooks, limiting their ability to practice and develop their artistic skills both during and outside of structured class time. Providing them with handmade sketchbooks will empower them to explore their creativity more freely and take ownership of their artistic growth.
To support our students' artistic development, we are seeking funding for a glue binder and binding supplies.
This essential tool will allow students to create their own sketchbooks and booklets, compiling their drawings, ideas, and artistic experiments in a structured and personal way. Having a dedicated sketchbook will encourage students to practice their skills, document their creative journey, and gain confidence in their artistic abilities.
Personal sketchbooks are expensive; a binding system is a more economical solution. Many students' artwork gets lost or damaged due to inadequate storage. A glue binder will allow us to assemble high-quality sketchbooks tailored to our students' needs, ensuring they have a lasting space for their art. This project will not only provide students with a valuable artistic tool but also introduce them to basic bookbinding techniques, expanding their understanding of the creative process.
Your generous donation will directly impact our students by:
• Giving each student a personal sketchbook to encourage artistic exploration.
• Teaching students about bookbinding as a creative skill.
• Helping students organize and preserve their artwork.
• Inspiring young artists to continue creating beyond the classroom.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
