  • Find the Artist in You at the Counselor's Office

    Funded Dec 9, 2021

    I just want to say, thank you for your donation to my project. I am committed to providing students with life long skills they will use throughout their lives. I am inspired to see so many others that share my vision for education. The tools that you have funded will allow enable my students to engage in making connections with who they are and where they see themselves in the future. The processes we will explore with this printer will help them visualize who they are and where they are going. Their social emotional learning. My students love to make new creations, and are looking forward to using this printer. It will be a centerpiece of the Design class for some time. Thank you once more for your generosity. We can't wait to begin! Our school thanks you!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Estrella

There is something about painting on canvas that makes my students feel like an artist. Using paint that isn't just watercolor and getting brushes that are better quality, they feel important, like what they create matters. They take pride in what they paint and are completely engaged. Every time I give them a special brush and a canvas and talk to them about painting they light up and want to experience what artist before them experienced. I would like to think that I somehow have contributed to helping create artists of the future. Using these paint, brushes, and a canvas will allow me the opportunity to enhance their experiences in art making and make it easier for them to share their experiences with others.
