My Project
My high school strives to provide students with a well-rounded experience before entering the "real world". Unfortunately, we are facing a shortage of teachers, let alone teachers of the arts. THS offers clubs and Passion Blocks for students to explore their options and I want students to have the opportunity to create in my space. I am no art teacher but I enjoy making things with my hands so clay, pottery and painting make sense AND students have a product they can take home. Our world is stressful anyway, let's play with clay!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
