  • Digital Photo Studio Start Up

    Funded Nov 30, 2022

    Your act of kindness has profoundly impacted the trajectory of our art program and the experiences of countless students.

    Photography, as you well know, is a potent medium through which one can capture the world's complexities, nuances, and beauty. Thanks to your donation, our students now have a firsthand opportunity to explore this world of visual storytelling. The difference in their engagement, enthusiasm, and the quality of their work has been nothing short of remarkable.

    Your contribution has not just provided tools but has opened doors. Students previously unable to access high-quality equipment can now execute their vision with precision and clarity. Our art class has become a breeding ground for talent, creativity, and innovation, enabling our students to develop skills that they will carry with them throughout their lives, whether they pursue careers in photography or merely retain it as a treasured hobby.

    Furthermore, the donated equipment will continue to serve classes for years to come, creating a legacy of enriched learning experiences. It's truly inspiring to think of the many artworks, projects, and exhibitions that will be made possible because of your generosity.

    It's often said that the true value of a gift is not in its monetary worth but in its impact. Your donation embodies this principle. On behalf of our dedicated staff and talented students, I thank you for believing in the importance of arts education and for investing in our future artists, thinkers, and visionaries.

    Please know that you are always welcome to visit our school to see the magic in action, attend our art exhibits, or simply to interact with the students whose lives you've touched. We would love the opportunity to showcase the fruits of your kindness.

    Once again, thank you for your generosity and support. Together, we are cultivating a brighter, more creative future for our students.”

  • Fill The Art Supply Closet!

    Funded Apr 7, 2023

    I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for your generous donation to our fundraiser for art supplies. Your kindness and support will have a direct and profound impact on the creative experiences and educational opportunities of our art students.

    Art is more than just colors on a canvas or shapes on paper; it's an avenue for self-expression, understanding, and connection. Thanks to your contribution, our students will have the necessary tools to explore and express their creativity, learn new techniques, and further develop their talents.

    Every paintbrush, pencil, and palette that we purchase from the funds raised provides a student with the opportunity to imagine, create, and inspire. Your generosity means that our budding artists can work with quality materials, enabling them to produce work they can be truly proud of.

    Your support reaffirms the importance of art in education and its power to change lives. It's not just about producing beautiful artwork but nurturing young minds to think creatively, problem-solve, and look at the world with a fresh perspective.

    Please know that every time a student picks up a brush or sketches a line, they are benefiting from your generosity. We will be sharing the progress and achievements of our students throughout the year, and we would love for you to see firsthand the difference your donation has made.

    On behalf of all our art students, teachers, and the entire school community, thank you once again for your generosity and for believing in the transformative power of art.”

    Mr. Dodge

  • Painting Supplies for Awesome Painting Students

    Funded Sep 20, 2022

    Thank you so much for the painting supplies. My students were over the moon when they opened the packages. We have since been working on a variety of paint handling projects using the acrylic paints and canvas boards, and the pallets have been helping us to not waste paint. Many of my art foundations students have been using the supplies to paint sculptures. My painting students will continue to push themselves in ever more creative directions to complete more and more ambitious painting projects. We are very excited for the rest of the year, and, because of you, equipped for it.”

My students are creative, driven and enthusiastic. They also love to paint. Out of all the projects we do in art class, the painting projects garner the most enthusiasm and interest from my students. I would love to do more painting in my art class room, and so would my students.
