Funded Dec 2, 2024My students and I would like to thank you for your generous donations that allowed us to purchase paint, rocks, and clay for the school social work office. The first rock project we did was creating a welcoming rocks basket. Students in grades 2-4 who participated in a social skills group created rocks that would be stored in the social work office and used to help welcome new students to our school. The students in the small group thought about pictures or words that would be welcoming to a new student visiting the school social work office for the first time. Each student chose a different message or art work. Some painted hearts, others painted people being kind to one another. It was a very successful project. I plan to use the art supplies for many more similar projects in the near future. I greatly appreciate having the materials to do something so creative.
Typically, I would be spending time in thrift stores or looking for art supplies on sale or clearance to use with my students. I greatly appreciated the supplies just getting delivered straight to my office. I would highly recommend this program to other school staff.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Paron
