My Project

PLEASE HELP creativity and curiosity grow with Montessori inspired puzzles and creative supplies in the Art Studio!!!

Our school serves a low income community of artists that need more than a blank piece of paper to draw on.

These young artists need the ability to expand their minds with Montessori inspired building blocks, colorful wooden puzzles, and interactive games!!!

With the helps of you and your support, these artists will be able to build new neuro-pathways that will help to simultaneously stimulate and grown their brains!!! It is science proven!!!

Please lend a helping hand in the M.E Art Studio!

Thank you!!

Ms. Hofstetter
