Color Printer
Funded Mar 14, 2024Thank you so much for your kind donation to my class. The printer you sponsored has allowed me to print class materials in color, as well as student work for display. Students are always thrilled to walk into class and see their work displayed for everyone to see.
I have also been able to print certificates that the school handed out to parents who are involved in their child's daily schooling.
We are currently beginning work on printing a project for the local County Fair. Without your donation, none of this would have been possible.”

Students Achieve More When They See What Others Do
Funded Oct 11, 2023Thank you so much for your kindness. The printer that my class got thanks to your contributions will facilitate having my students' artwork in this year's Dade-County Fair, along with many other art shows.
We have additionally begun printing student work and placing it on the walls of my class. The students love it! I hope you enjoy seeing the photos of student work that we were able to print thanks to your generosity.
Thank you! It makes such a difference to have their work on the walls, once again!”
With gratitude,

Funded Aug 11, 2023Thank you, so very much, for your generous donation to my class. I am thrilled that we will be able to continue printing the iron-ons for the t-shirts that students receive as a reward for passing their Adobe Industry Certification Exams. Last school year I had to print these at home, as I did not have an inkjet printer in my class, and you can't run the iron-on transfers through a laser printer, because they melt.
Our administration has agreed to allow students to wear these t-shirts in place of their regular uniform polos. Students are more than happy to get a break from their regular uniform, and in doing so actually promote the program to the rest of the school. It is truly a win-win situation!
Please see photos of students printing the graphic, ironing it on to a shirt, and even wearing them. Thank you, again. You've made a difference.”

Art Makes Life Beautiful
Funded Dec 22, 2020Thank you so much for supporting my Donors Choose project. The iPad has come in tremendously handy and useful during this uncertain time of the Covid Pandemic.
Although I have been thankfully spared from the virus, I did have to quarantine for two weeks, since a family member tested positive. The iPad facilitated working from home, without having to worry about lugging a big school computer home and then back to school. Honestly, I think all teachers should have a portable device during this time, because you just never know when it is going to affect you directly.
Over 70% of my drawing class students are working online, and they must submit photographs of their drawings to me, via email. Having the iPad has mad it incredibly easy to access their work from any and all locations.
However, it hasn't just been a great tool to have for distance learning. It has also come in handy for in school presentations.
Lastly, I have created a playlist of what I consider to be great, relaxing music pieces to create art by. I keep this playing on the iPad, through a Bluetooth speaker. The Playlist has over 500 songs, and growing.
Thank you, once more, for providing such a great tool to my students. It has certainly made this uncertain time a little more tolerable.”
