My Students

Students at our school are very diverse and come from a variety of cultural backgrounds that create a great melting pot school community.

We are a dual-site school and have a building for lower grades of Pre-K and one for upper grades of 3rd-5th.

As the primary art teacher in both buildings, I strive to provide students with as much exposure to a variety of art materials and experiences as possible on a low budget of art materials and supplies each year.

My Project

We hope to return to a more normal post-pandemic school year in the fall but may not have a designated art studio space for students to go to for art. I need something on which to organize and wheel from classroom to classroom on each floor all the art supplies needed for K-5 students in both the lower and upper school buildings.

These carts will allow me to organize drawing, collage, painting, printmaking, and clay materials to wheel around and bring to various grades in their classrooms.

Mobile art carts for PS130!
