My Students

My students attend a high performing school, which is located in a lower-socioeconomic area, and very proud of the National Blue Ribbon and California Distinguished School awards we've received. Our school is ethnically diverse with students speaking a variety of languages such as English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, and Russian.

My students are leaders in making and interested in creating a difference in the world!

They are a part of a tight-knit community that supports education. They always strive to do their best and deserve the best!

My Project

Art is one of the first programs to be cut at the elementary level and it's difficult to obtain certain items in order to teach a variety of art lessons. My students need to go beyond the standard paper, pencil, and crayon supplies.

Painting on a blank canvas with acrylic paint is a wonderful way for my students to display their artwork.

They will practice blending primary colors to make colors of their choice and tap into their creative talents to create art. Art is a wonderful way to help individuals not only express themselves, but also teaches them focus and concentration. Your support toward this project will give them this opportunity to explore art.
