  • Staying Clean and Healthy in Art.

    Funded Mar 24, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous donation of cleaning supplies—from Clorox wipes to tissues and hand sanitizer. Your support helps keep our art classroom clean and healthy, allowing my students to stay well and focused on what they love most: creating fabulous art!

    Because of your kindness, my students are able to enjoy a safe and inspiring environment where their creativity can truly shine. I'm sending along some photos so you can see the amazing work they've been doing—your contribution has made a real difference, and we're so grateful.”

  • Creating Illusions in Art

    Funded Feb 14, 2025

    Thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful gift of white gel pens and tons of black construction paper! I am beyond excited to use these materials in my art class to help my students explore and create optical illusions. Your generosity is going to allow us to dive into such a fun and engaging project that will not only challenge their creativity but also deepen their understanding of art techniques and visual perception.

    As you know, art education is so important in helping students develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and self-expression. The opportunity to explore optical illusions will give them a unique way to understand how art can play with perception and encourage them to think outside the box. Your gift makes it possible for me to guide them in ways I couldn't have done otherwise, and I know they are going to be thrilled to experiment with these new materials!

    Thanks to your support, my students will have the chance to create something truly special. Your kindness is not only providing supplies but opening up new pathways for learning and artistic growth that will stay with them for years to come. I'm so excited to see what they create, and I can't wait to share the results with you!

    Once again, thank you for your thoughtful and generous gift. It truly means the world to me and my students!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Pappas- Russo
