• Glue Please

  Funded Mar 25, 2025

  I sincerely appreciate your generous donation of glue to our art classroom! While it may seem like a simple supply, glue is an essential tool that helps bring our students’ creativity to life.

  From collages to sculpture-building, glue allows young artists to experiment, construct, and explore new techniques. It helps strengthen their fine motor skills, patience, and problem-solving abilities—skills that extend far beyond the art room.

  Thanks to your support, our students can continue creating with confidence and enthusiasm. Your generosity truly makes a difference, and we are so grateful!”

  With gratitude,

  With your help, our students can explore color, develop fine motor skills, and bring their imaginations to life. These crayons will be used in countless projects, helping young artists build confidence and joy in their artistic journey.

  Thank you for making a difference in our classroom and in the lives of our students. Your kindness and generosity truly inspire us!”

  I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the parents and donors who generously contributed funds to help purchase construction paper for our art room.

I truly appreciate your generosity, and your contribution makes a world of difference in the artistic experiences of our students.

• Art Paint Night

  Funded Nov 29, 2023

  Thank you so much for all of your donations. Supplies are are so important in our art class and we are so blessed to have this project come to life.

  We love to paint! Our projects are brighter and more colorful when we use paint, they look amazing! A few of my Artists also took supplies home so they could complete their project and I'm so lucky to have more than enough paint in our art room to be able to share with them.

  Thank you for helping us fund such an amazing project. The canvases were amazing and instead of having paint night as I wanted my artists voted on creating their own individual paintings in class. I'm so happy they took initiative and decided to do something so amazing. We have been working on this project for several months now and I absolutely love the outcome as you will as well. Please follow us on Instagram @elenisartists to see all the amazing work our students havr created and the process. I will be posting their artwork soon!”

• Art Carts

  Funded Mar 27, 2024

  Our amazing Art Program is housed in the school's library and space is quite limited when it comes to storage and use of the art materials. This was the main reason for this project. A rolling art cart gives our artists easy access to various art supplies, including drawing materials, paints, brushes, scissors, glue, paper, and other crafting items. It fosters independence. Artists can choose their materials and initiate art projects independently. Having these art carts in the room near our design tables is ideal. Thank you once again for this awesome gift. Please follow us on Instagram @elenisartists where you will see all of our amazing art projects.”
