Making Murals: Transforming our Halls!
Funded Sep 16, 2024On behalf of our students, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous contributions to our recent Donors Choose project. Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase a variety of supplies including acrylic paints, brushes, painter's tape, and a wire, and more! Everything needed to bring our mural projects to life.
Our students are beyond excited to begin working on new murals that will add beauty and vibrancy to the halls of our school. These art projects have transformed our corridors, offering students and staff a daily dose of inspiration and a sense of pride in our shared space. Each mural not only decorates our halls but creates a lasting impression on everyone who passes through, making our school environment richer and more welcoming.
For our student artists, the opportunity to paint is more than just a creative exercise. It's a powerful outlet that allows them to express themselves and find relaxation amid the challenges of high school life. The chance to bring their ideas to life on a grand scale has sparked enthusiasm and motivated them to pour their hearts into these projects.
Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. Your support means the world to our students, and we are grateful for the opportunities you've made possible.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Pedigo

Funded Sep 10, 2024We extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you for your generous contributions to our Donors Choose project. Thanks to your support, we were able to purchase an EcoTank color printer for our high school art class, a valuable addition that is already making a difference in our students' creative endeavors.
The new color printer has transformed how we approach our art projects, especially our mural-making process. It allows us to print artwork references with exceptional quality and detail, helping students more accurately capture the nuances of their designs. The mural students, in particular, are thrilled to use the printer for reference and gridding their artwork, enabling them to work with greater precision and creativity.
Your generosity has truly impacted our classroom, fueling the excitement and creativity of our young artists. On behalf of our students and teachers, thank you again for making this project a reality.”
