Help me give my students basic drawing supplies of markers and color pencils to let them develop their design portfolios for higher education!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ricci's classroom raised $770
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
“Dream, design, and deliver!”
Each student makes up an essential, unique thread within the fabric of our school community.
These creative, innovative, and enthusiastic students are the future of fashion and design. On a daily basis, these dedicated students work endlessly to bring their concepts to life in the form of clothing and accessories. Imagine the sense of accomplishment when a student revels in his or her work: a finished pair of pants, a shirt, a coat, and so on. As an educator, it is just as thrilling to bear witness to this process.
Akin to the garment district, our school is situated in Manhattan where even the skyscrapers do not reach the heights of our students’ ingenuity and talent. Our goal is to support and prepare these remarkable students for success in higher education and to follow in the footsteps of alumni, who have gone onto schools such as the Fashion Institute of Technology, The New School, Pratt Institute, Savannah College of Art, and Design, etc.
My Project
Dream! Design! Deliver! Innovative minds need creative tools for design. My students are in the process of building their apparel design portfolios for college applications, internships, an array of wonderful opportunities and their bright futures ahead. Our studio's markers are dried out and the color pencils are ready for retirement! My learners need new markers and color pencils to translate their original concepts into remarkable feats! My students are very limited in these needed materials.
With these new markers, color pencils and tracing paper, my students will be able to express their ideas without limitation!
Please help these budding designers with the needed supplies so that they can develop their professional portfolios!
