  • We Need A Drying Rack for Our Masterpieces

    Funded Jan 17, 2025

    I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your generation donation of a drying rack! Our art studio has needed this for years!! Now we have a dedicated space for the students' masterpieces to dry safely and neatly.

    Thanks to your kindness, our studio will be more organized, efficient, and students will be able to explore media with greater ease. Your generosity is not just a gift of equipment - it's an investment in their creativity, self-expression, and the joy of learning through art!

    I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity in supporting our art program. Thank you again for making a difference and for being a member of our school community!! :)”

  • Help Keep Art Alive During Covid!

    Funded Nov 25, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generous donation of art materials for my students! Since the children aren't allowed to share materials during this pandemic, they were so grateful and excited to have their own materials so they could continue painting and creating collages. They were so appreciative that you cared about their artistic endeavors. The kindergarten children created family collages inspired by Faith Ringgold, the first graders created collages inspired by Alma Thomas, and the fifth graders painted self-portraits inspired by Tawny Chatmon. Once again, thank you so much for helping these children to continue having meaningful experiences in art!”

  • Art Supplies for Our Emerging Picassos!

    Funded Dec 25, 2018

    I just wanted to show my gratitude for your generous donations!! Thank you so much for giving my students the opportunity to experiment and explore these new materials. They absolutely loved the experience of applying water to their oil pastels! It was like magic to them watching the colors naturally mix and blend like paint. They have been using regular oil pastels for years now and these new water soluble oil pastels added a completely new dimension to their art experience. Thank you for being supportive of their artistic development!”

  • Help Me Integrate Technology into Art!

    Funded Dec 8, 2016

    Thank you so much for your donation!!! My students and I are so excited to have a printer in our art studio! The students can finally create work on the computer and see their work in print. It has also been really helpful because now the students can print resources and photo references to use for their art projects. The printer has become another learning tool that we are so grateful to have thanks to your generous donation! Once again, thank you for caring about and supporting our children's education.”

  • Help Get Our Art Off The Floor!

    Funded Mar 9, 2016

    We would sincerely and enthusiastically like to thank you so much for your donation!!! Our portfolio cabinet arrived and it has already made such an impact. The students are excited that our room has become more of an art studio. The cabinet has also created a lot of space in our room! The clear and open space sends an inspiring message that there is room here for them to fill this space with your thoughts, ideas, and creativity. The art studio is often thought of as a private space that encourages and promotes room for thought and exploration. An inviting and appropriate space to create art is critical to aesthetic development and evolution of thought and ideas.

    Thank you for contributing to our children's artistic development. They feel special that you thought of them and their needs. Your donation has energized and inspired our students to create art!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Griffing

Our kindergarten artists have just begun creating their family story quilt collage with the materials you supplied for us and our third graders are eager to start their African masks. Our students and I are so appreciative of your generosity and your thoughtfulness. They are so touched that there are people who are thinking of them and are supportive of their creative endeavors. Art is so important to our children and is a vital part of their education and we are all so thankful that you feel the same way. Thank you so much for caring about us and the arts!!”

    Thank you so much for your donation!! My students and I are very excited that we have the proper mounting paper for our art exhibition! The students are touched that there are people that care about their artwork and their art education. It has taught them that people really value art. This donation is really important because it shows the children that art isn't just about creating, but it's also about sharing.

  • Help Protect Our Art! Do Not Let Our Art Get Damaged!

    Funded Dec 25, 2013

    Thank you so much for your donation!!! I have wanted and needed these portfolios for the past five years!! The portfolios are perfect and very durable, which is exactly what we needed. The students really respect their artwork more than ever. Just knowing that someone else believes that the work that they create should be appreciated, cherished, and respected, gives them a whole new view on the importance of art and the work that they produce. My students and I really appreciate your contribution and that you are supportive of the arts. This is just another way for my students to see how art plays an important role in their lives!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Griffing

My talented art students are from a high needs public school in NY, in which many of them are bilingual and English language learners. We are very fortunate to have a principal and school that supports the arts. We're also fortunate to have an art program that supports our students in learning English. Unfortunately, as funds get cut, our budget for art supplies suffers greatly. Our students are motivated and eager to become well-rounded artists and individuals; but without proper supplies, they are missing out on valuable experiences fostered by a meaningful art education.
