Art in the classroom is a fantastic way to foster critical thinking, collaboration, communication between the students, and creativity.
Artists look at things very closely and find beauty in everyday things.
They take risks, work hard, and make real connections. Artists have concentration and are persistent. I want to help my students with these concepts and more. Your donation will make it possible for my students to work on essential life skills while making art. With your support, I would like to add some basic supplies to our art center so my little Picassos can create some fantastic works of art.
More than half of students from low‑income households
