Healthy Expression Through Art
Funded Mar 16, 2021Thank you so much for your generous donation that provided canvases and paint supplies for our YCCS art classes! My students were thrilled to receive them, and they got straight to work on some amazing art projects! Your donation helped to add some joy and motivation in a very trying school year! Due to your donation, my aspiring artists were able to express themselves using acrylic paint to bring their creativity to life. Your contribution to our classes was invaluable; we would not have been able to complete our canvas project without it! Thank you again for your generous support! It was greatly appreciated!”

Funded Sep 4, 2020Thank you so much for your kind donation to our YCCS art classes. My students work in their new sketchbooks every day, and are creating some amazing art. They are able to use these sketchbooks for multi-media projects and your gift has become an essential resource in our daily activities.
My students were thrilled to receive their new sketchbooks, as I was previously having them complete their art assignments on copy paper and place it in a folder for me to grade periodically. Many times art pieces would be crumpled or lost in transport and their grades would suffer consequently. With distance learning and no personal contact, the sketchbook makes it so much simpler for my students to be organized, as well as to keep all of their assignments safe and contained in one place for grading.
Now that we have moved on from our drawing unit to watercolor painting, we can still use our wonderful sketchbooks, as the paper is multi-use. My students are looking forward to filling the pages with new and exciting artwork for the duration of the school-year!”

Funded Mar 30, 2017Thank you so much for donating to this project!
Having healthy snacks and beverages in my classroom helped make the hottest months of the school year far more bearable. As I stated in my original request, many of my students do not always eat breakfast, nor do they have the nutrition their bodies need throughout the day. By having access to a protein bar, or a bottle of juice or water, these students were able to remain in class, and out of the nurse's office. Furthermore, I was able to focus on teaching, and they on learning, with far fewer interruptions.
Due to your donations, my students were able to get the nutrition they required to stay healthy and focused through their many class activities, as well as through standardized testing, which requires them to be operating at full capacity. Thank you,again! You are absolutely awesome!”

Funded Dec 14, 2016Thank you so much for providing our class this wonderful opportunity to incorporate William Shakespeare, Elizabethan England, and the rich history of stage performance into our 7th grade English and Social Studies Curriculum at Yuba City Charter School!
Our class is currently reading "King of Shadows," by Susan Cooper, and my students are truly enjoying their trip through time with "Nat Field." A few of my more ambitious students have chosen to read the "Shakespeare Manga" books for their independent reading, and they have found the stories quite entertaining. We will be reading the "No Fear Shakespeare: Midsummer Night's Dream" later this semester. Thank you again for your support! You can rest assured that your donations are being put to good use!!!”
