My Students

My students are leaders in their community. We are a Leader in Me school, where we all practice the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (really there are 8) every day to set goals, achieve them, and be successful citizens. We are also a magnet school for visual and performing arts, ensuring that all of our children receive arts-based instruction every day.

Most of our students are labeled as Title I and at-risk with a low socioeconomic status, and are minorities.

Basically, they don't get enough of most things that they desperately need. Lots of them have experienced too much failure and people who have let them down. But we don't let excuses get in our way!

My Project

We have acrylic frames hanging in our hallways to display student work. Every year we lose a few to breakage. I want their work to look important and for them to be proud of it as they and their friends walk from place to place.

We need replacement frames for displaying their masterpieces as well as paper to create those masterpieces.

The 11 x 14 watercolor paper is the perfect thing for not only painting, but also oil pastels and even collage work. And since it's already cut to the right size, the students themselves can change out their past work to display their newest creations.
