These invaluable requested supplies with provide my students with an enriching painting experience. Continually throughout this entire year, students have inquired of more art being included in their education--specifically painting. Unfortunately, art is not included in the curriculum here at RMS despite research showing undeniable benefits on school culture, student motivation, attitude and even attendance. Numerous reports discuss the ways that increased access and involvement in arts education encourage students to stay in school, succeed in school, succeed in life, and succeed in work. The arts teach students innumerable lessons—practice makes perfect, small differences can have large effects, collaboration leads to creativity. The arts also teach children that there a several paths to take when approaching problems and that all problems can have more than one solution. And yet, despite the impressive benefits of arts education, not every student has access to these quality learning experiences including mine. As this school year closes, I want nothing more than to reward and enrich my students' lives with a painting session. With your help, I can make the wishes of these phenomenal and deserving student's come true!
