  • Sketch Our Calm

    Funded Mar 15, 2025

    Oh wow! We are absolutely over the moon with happiness and excitement for our sketchbook. Art students use them for notes, ideas, journaling, and all around collection of art thoughts, resources, and brainstorming. Providing art students with these sketchbooks, makes them feel like 'real' artists. It helps transport them into their artistic selves and provides a safe , easy place for their stuff. They feel seen, cared for, and that their art and themselves have worth. You are providing more then just a sketchbook, you are creating positive outlooks and improved self-worth. It a true gift.”

  • STEM and Art - the Best!

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    We are really enjoying our new Cricut machine. The kids have begun to learn about what it capable and are now creating more then just card. They really like making stencils to use in our painting, drawing, and collaging units. I showed my seniors how they will be able to decorate their graduation caps with vinyl, card stock, and the use of the Cricut machine and many have already starting to design their caps! The machine is creating learning moment for my students that are collaborative in nature, involve complex problem solving while developing new, and productive hobbies for my students. It really fun to watch young people enjoy and experience new, productive hobbies. As always, thank you.”
