My Project

Thanks to wonderful donors, my class is equipped with an amazing art center. They use this center every day, and paint is their very favorite. I am asking for new paint for our art center to continue our hands-on, student centered, creative experience we are so lucky to have.

Students call their paintings "masterpieces" and are always so careful when in the process of creating.

To them, it's so much more than painting; it is a place they can brainstorm, problem solve, and create with no boundaries. By exploring, and problem solving, they are able to make connections to real life and are not even aware they are learning all along.

My students are so bright, creative and deserving. By giving them an outlet to express themselves, we have a very calm, warm, friendly classroom. Please consider giving to my class so they don't have a limit on supplies and can continue with their creativity.
