  • Posca Markers for Positive Kids!

    Funded Dec 24, 2024

    Thank you so much for choosing to donate to our school! The students absolutely LOVE the Posca markers! I have to say I have become a big fan of them myself. Thanks to you, we have been able to use the Posca markers in 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th grade. We have used them for a variety of projects- from Gingerbread men to 3-D mask desgns. This helped to elevate a lot of our Art Projects this year. This was made evident in our annual school Art Show that just happened this week. I attached some pictures of our set up in the gym. Thanks to you it was a great show!”

  • Help Our Art Room Create Vibrant Art!

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    Thank you so much for donating to our classroom! The students had an absolute blast using the Posca markers that have become SO popular online. By using these paint markers students feel more professional and inspired to do the best that they can. I've tried my best to give each class a chance to use them on a variety of projects. 2nd grade used them for valentine's day, fourth grade used it for cake decorating, sixth grade used it on a Frida Kahlo project, and eighth grade used them for a famous art paroides. This would not have been possible without your help!”

  • Sharpies For Our Art Room!

    Funded Nov 15, 2024

    Thank you so much for making sure our Art Room has was it needs to do awesome projects. We use the sharpies A LOT in art class for outlining. One of my favorite projects we use them for is our Haida Art project. The students do a great job getting inspired by the Haida tribe located in Alaska and choose an animal to draw. This style focuses on shape and only using two or three colors. They do an amazing job with it. This unit would not have been possible without your generous donation. Thank you so much!”

I teach fine art in a high poverty area. My students face many challenges in their daily lives but are motivated to succeed. Having a strong art program is essential to these students' development because they need an expressive outlet. Like most schools my students are creative and hard working, but what's different are the messages they have to share.
