My Students
I love the look on my students' faces when they see a print of their work. I love to tell them to sign their names on their photos because all good artists sign their work. I love watching their reactions and see their pride as they show others their work. We need ink and paper for this to happen.
More than 85% of my students live at or below the poverty level.
The Philadelphia School District is in very serious financial shape, and I have not received supplies from the school district for the past 3 years. In my building it is so bad that teachers are only given one ream of copy paper per month. I have been funding the photography program strictly through grants and donations from groups like DonorsChoose.org.
My Project
During the past few years my student have been exhibiting their work not only at school but also in city-wide, regional and even national exhibitions. Students have won awards and even cash prizes in all of these shows and exhibitions. A number of my students' photos are even used for raising funds by an organization known as Fresh Artists. My students, through these experiences, have learned to be successful and have been motivated to take learning and achievement much more seriously. Your help will be greatly appreciated by not only me but more importantly by my students.
Please help my class by contributing money for the Epson Photographic Paper we so badly need.
The photography program as it is designed in my school allows and encourages even the most poorly performing students to feel good about their work, it encourages creativity and shows them that their ideas are valid and also teaches them to see things from a different point of view. It helps students develop a positive attitude towards learning and also helps them appreciate the arts. Please support us.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
