My Project

Dear Donors,

Picture a world where creativity knows no bounds, and young minds explore new horizons.

That's our vision for 8th-grade art students, and we need your support. In our isolated, resource-limited school, providing art supplies is a challenge. Your help with our cartography project not only provides essential tools like map paper and drawing materials but also integrates cartography into our curriculum, offering a multidisciplinary learning experience beyond traditional art education.

Your generous donation will:

Enhance Spatial Intelligence: Creating maps deepens students' understanding of scale, proportion, and relationships, sharpening their spatial intelligence.

Connect Art with Geography: Integrating cartography seamlessly links artistic expression with geographical knowledge.

Foster Critical Thinking: Mapmaking encourages critical thinking as students decide what information to include, how to represent it visually, and how to communicate effectively.

Join us in empowering these young minds to think creatively, critically, and spatially. Your support transcends art supplies; it opens doors for these students. In our rural setting, your contribution breaks down barriers and nurtures talents waiting to be discovered.

Thank you for being a crucial part of our journey!

Sincerely,

Lindsey Olsen

Ms. Lindsey Sage International School - Forge International Grades 6-8
