"Hey You Guys" Charity Movie Screening and Silent Art Auction!
All proceeds will go to schools in need of art supplies as well as tools to stimulate creativity!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I wish you all could have seen the look on the students' faces. They were so thrilled that someone cared enough that they wouldn't have to use their books on our fieldtrip. The students were able to produce wonderful work as they sketched areas in downtown around the art museum. We were able to make total use of our walking trip. The students drew the architecture around them. They were able to recognize different structures and truly engulf themselves in their artwork without worrying about nnuisances such as bumps on their paper from the concrete.They truly felt like real artists and were able to express themselves endlessly. Thank you so much for your generous donation.”
I cannot find the words to thank you for your generous donation to my classroom. I'm sending my kids' notes as a start; with them I can share with you a bit of the amazing students I work with on a daily basis. Your donation has helped me to show my appreciation for them, so I hope you get a hint of their humor, intelligence, and kindness in their writing.
My students were so excited about the arrival of the new art supplies. I had told them that they would arrive, but they didn't know when. When my students saw me opening the box up they were ecstatic. My students were very excited when they found out that they would be able to have brand new supplies for art time. I truly appreciate your assistance in making this a reality in my classroom.
Me and my entire class are very fortunate to receive this donation, and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please know that your generosity has definitely made a difference in our classroom. Thank you once again and may you have a wonderful new year!”
Thank you for all that you have done for us here at our school. The collection of art materials that you sent to our class will help give these kids some parity with their peers in more affluent schools. These children simply do not have access to quality art materials and their excitement is justified: these materials are new and unusual and the children are thrilled to have them. I am particularly excited about the scissors and cropping tools. The Japanese papers will make fine additions to our collages. Thank you.”
With gratitude,

Words cannot express how amazed we are that total strangers are invested in our education. As a California charter school, we are currently facing extreme budget cuts. Donations, now more than ever, help supplement and enrich the learning of all my students. Through donorschoose.org, we have received numerous supplies including novels, personal whiteboards, an LCD projector, an overhead cart and art supplies. This September, I was pleased to find out that my "Give-back Birthday" site received the third highest amount in donations. I am still overwhelmed by how giving generous donors, such as you, can be.
More specifically, thank you for your donation of art supplies. They have proved to be invaluable during numerous projects. Most recently, students are researching their high school options. This past week, each student was able to use the construction paper and markers to create high school posters that displayed a high school of their choosing. The posters are now on display in our cafeteria and will prove most useful next week when we invite parents to a meeting where their high school options will be on display. Additionally, the art supplies used in this project will help students to visualize their many options so that they can become aware of the various high schools that surround their neighborhood.
Again, thank you for your donation. I hope you continue to visit this superb website and consider donating to the many worthwhile projects posted.
Thank you so very much for the opportunity to provide my students with engaging and meaningful art projects. With the supplies you have purchased my students will be able to illustrate original picture books, create mosaics to beautify our school, and let their imaginations come to life. It isn't often that students living in the inner city are able to participate in visual arts using high quality materials and supplies. My hope is that my class' imaginations will grow, and they will desire to both life long writers and illustrators. I cannot express my gratitude. A thank you is not enough. Please know your donation is greatly appreciated.”

What a great surprise to be funded! The timing is perfect since we return to school from our winter break soon. The students will be very excited to know that our class will have special materials available to use on art projects. The students eagerly see projects as fun activities. But for me the teacher, I see the activities as opportunities to incorporate many teachable standards. Again, thank you for your generosity. -Carme”
I am thrilled to have some art supplies in our classroom! My students are going to beam bright smiles and have a lot of fun exploring with the materials. It was very important for me to use art for individual expression. By funding this project, I can see that you think it's important too! Once again, thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness”
Thank you so much for the generous gift that you gave our students. I cannot tell you how much it means to them and to the teachers. In these hard economic times it is appreciated even more. Our students were so excited when they found out about your generous gift! Art is always the first subject to be cut and they were so happy to be able to use the canvases, paints, and brushes. As you can see in the pictures, we taught our students how to do Chinese bamboo painting. We will continue to use the paint through out the year. Thank you again”
WOW! I am very excited to hear such great news! I can't wait to tell my students that they will be able to create art on a real canvas! I know they will be very excited to begin their art projects!
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for helping my class. There is absolutely no way that I would be able to afford an 8 x 8 canvas for all my students. You have really touched the lives of many deserving and highly talented art students.
My students and I would like to thank you very much for providing us the opportunity to take our classroom experience to a creative level. The state budget cuts have greatly affected our resources, but your generosity and support have given us the opportunity to take our studies into a more creative mode. I know that this will create such a great impact with my kids.
The activities that we have planned using your donated supplies will surely produce memorable experiences that they will carry through until adulthood. Our "Ring of Knowledge" idea is especially making an impact on their organizational skills. Now we can't wait to get into creating our "masterpieces"!
I am thankful that all of you share this vision. On behalf of my students, I thank you very much!”
With gratitude,
Teacher
