FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. L.'s classroom raised $716

My Students

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." ~Pablo Picasso.

My first grade students need real artist materials to create masterpieces!

They have the desire and talent and now they need the supplies! We read, write, solve equations, study social studies and science but we need pastels and pencils to draw like the famous artists we are going to study this year.

My Project

These beautiful pastels and pencils will help my first grade artists explore art in a whole new way. They will learn about famous artists and then they'll be able to use the same materials to create their own masterpieces! Your generosity will help bring art and art appreciation back into the classroom!

Only with your amazing generosity can my first graders become the artists they were meant to be.

Your support of art in public education is truly amazing! Thank You! "When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college- that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?" Howard Ikemoto
