My Students

Working in clay is really difficult! Imagine what it is like with the wrong kind of tools! We are working on revamping our art program through new supplies. Help us show how much we care about our students and their learning.

My school is a lower income school in a rural community.

Our students are wonderful people that really appreciate people taking the time and investing in them as individuals. They are pretty used to being told that they can't have things so we are looking for help in changing that.

My Project

I am requesting 35 pottery tool kits, one for each student. We will be able to build a stronger ceramics program through these materials. Each student would be help responsible for the maintenance and care of their own clay tool set and be able to use the tools properly for higher achievement in ceramics. By having materials such as these, I will be able to push my students and help them to make bigger and better ceramics sculptures in the future.

As we continually renew and replace our old materials, our students are starting to see how much the community cares about them and the art program.

Thanks to Donor's Choose, we were able to replace our paintbrushes last year so every year your donations help in major ways! They get a huge kick out of seeing people care. Thank you so much for reading about my students!
