My Project

My students and I want to create a beautiful rock garden for the courtyard at our school. Every art student will design and handpaint a rock that represents them! We will use the purchased materials to make our vision of a rock garden come alive!

The paint, rocks, and sealant will be used to create a beautiful, memorable space for our students and staff to enjoy while they are enjoying the outdoor space.

Thank you so much for your generosity and support of the arts and beautifying our school grounds!

Ms. Potter
Grades 9-12
