My Project

My students have recognized that mental and emotional health and wellness need to be a top priority in our schools and communities. Students hope to create cards for those sick, and the elderly in our local nursing facilities.

Art can spark joy that creates positivity and help with the mental health crisis that many in our community face.

My students would like to share art with those who need an uplifting. ALLSTATE

With your generous support, my students' artwork can come to life. Paper and printer materials will be used to create drawings, and cards for locals that need uplifting.

My students are determined to spread kindness to the world and the local community around them.
