Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

My Project

The sketchbooks and pencil pouches we're requesting will revolutionize our students' learning experiences by providing them with essential tools for artistic expression and exploration. With these materials, our students will have the opportunity to engage in regular sketching exercises, refine their techniques, and document their creative ideas. Our goal for this project is to establish a standard practice of using sketchbooks as a platform for artistic growth and reflection, empowering our students to develop their skills and confidence as creative thinkers and young artists.

As a Title I school, our students face unique challenges, but they are incredibly resilient and passionate about art.

By providing them with sketchbooks and pencil pouches, we aim to create an inclusive and supportive art community where every student feels valued and inspired to explore their creativity. Our students are special because they bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the art studio, enriching our learning environment and fostering a sense of belonging for all. With your support, we can ensure that every student has access to the tools they need to thrive as artists and individuals. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our students.
