• Paper Please

  Funded Jan 17, 2025

  Thank you so much for your generous donation to our construction paper project! Your support has made a big impact on our art classroom, giving our students the colorful, versatile materials they need to explore, create, and express themselves every day.

  Construction paper is truly a foundational tool in art education—it's used in everything from simple shape studies to elaborate collages and craft projects. Because of you, our students now have access to a wide variety of colors and textures, which opens up countless creative possibilities. It's not just paper—it's the starting point for imagination, confidence, and hands-on learning.

  Your kindness helps ensure that every young artist in our classroom has the resources to bring their ideas to life, and that our learning environment stays rich, engaging, and full of color. We are so grateful for your support and for believing in the power of art.”

• Steinway Grads

  Funded Dec 4, 2024

  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our canvas painting project for the 5th grade Steinway Artists! Your generous donation has brought a dream to life—one that was inspired by last year's graduates who found so much joy and confidence through their painting sessions. Because of you, this experience will now become a cherished tradition for every graduating class to come.

  Painting on canvas is so much more than just a fun activity—it's an opportunity for our young artists to express themselves, explore their creativity, and build lasting self-esteem. It nurtures fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive development, all while supporting emotional growth and regulation. With your support, our students will not only feel like real artists—they are real artists.

  Your gift empowers us to create a meaningful, memorable experience that helps shape both the minds and hearts of our students. Thank you for believing in the power of art and in the potential of each young artist in our classroom.”
