My Project

They are creative and create work that expresses who they are and who their peers are. They use technology and learn real-world skills. They serve the community with their work frequently as well.

Thanks so much for the support.

My students really have a chance to learn and be expressive with real-world materials in my class, but it is very expensive to keep things up and give them the materials they need. You are really getting them ready for life after high school with your donation, thank you, thank you, thank you.
