Aboriginal Scratch Bark Painting
Funded Jan 1, 2010I just want to start off by thanking you for your generous donations. Our unit on Aboriginal Art was fabulous. The kids were engaged from day one. You made it possible for them to learn about a new culture and experience one of its art forms. The oil pastels, black tempera, brown kraft paper, and wooden craft sticks were perfect for our art project. My little apprentices' masterpieces turned out beautifully. Thank you for allowing them to have this wonderful experience. I currently have them on display in our school hallways and our public library. One of my students' mother said as soon as he brought his work home she was going to frame it and hang it in their house. How exciting is that?
The economy has not been very nice to alot of us lately, especially our school system. Our school is currently facing major cuts in positions and and funding for our teaching supplies. Thanks donors for your incredible and selfless donations. Without your help, my students would not have been able to enjoy and have this wonderful learning experience. I would like to think that if the Aboriginal artist could see our masterpieces, they would be very proud and honored by what my students learned and accomplished. Thanks again and God bless!”
With gratitude,

Good Grief O'Keeffe
Funded Feb 8, 2010I owe you guys a big thanks for what you did for my students. The pastel chalks, glitter glue, and glitter paint, that you donated helped my students create beautiful masterpieces. All of my 4th graders used these art mediums you donated in their unit on the great American artist, Georgia O'Keeffe. They created beautiful oversized images like she did. I currently have the artworks displayed in our school hallways. All the staff and students are in awe of these beautiful flowers. They make the school hallways happy and stress-free, just like Georgia O'Keeffe wanted her works to do.
The economy has hit the education systems terribly. Our school is currently facing major budget cuts, without your donations my students would not have been able to create the beautiful O'Keeffe flowers that they did. Without help from generous donors like you, several classrooms would have to do without. In closing, I just want to let you know that your generosity was extremely appreciated. ”

Tarheel Weavings
Funded Mar 31, 2008I just want to thank you so much for your generous contribution to my studetns. It is very hard to get new supplies this time of the school year. Our budget has ususally been spent at this time. This time of the year I end of using my own personal money alot of time to complete special projects for my students. I do whatever I can to expose my kids to all different types of media and art history. My kids coming from low income families don't get alot of exposure to the arts so thank you so much for helping me introduce and teach a lesson on tarheel weaving. I know they will really enjoy making small wall tapestries. I intend to send letters and pictures from the kids as soon as we get started. Thanks again.
