My Students

Art is fun. It is instructive. And it ought to be a part of every child's education.

The kids at our school are brilliant and they deserve basic educational resources.

Approximately 65% of our students are African American, 29% are Hispanic, and the remaining 5% is made up of Asian (Pakistani, Ethiopian, Filipino) and Anglo American students. Because we are a full Title I school a vast majority of our students qualify for free or reduced lunches. Our students may lack the material privileges that other American children are fortunate to have, but they certainly make up for it with talent, fortitude, and sheer intelligence. We live in a world where our youth are simply not provided enough quality resources to shine; your donation will make the dream of a bright future come true.

My Project

We need art materials, such as paint brushes, markers, collage materials, and modeling clay with modeling tools. Students will use these various art materials to find new dimensions of creative expression. True! Students will be able to explore color and line with the markers and watercolor supplies I have ordered. They will be able to make wonderful collages with the great variety of craft materials, and they will find kinesthetic rewards when they get their fingers into the modeling clay.

It is always a great pleasure for me to see students engaged in lessons that have real meaning for them.

In my classroom, art is always related to actions and events in the real world. And I always use art activities as extensions of lessons in other areas of the curriculum, such as literacy and mathematics. The supplies that you provide will form an important part of the meaningful primary curriculum that I strive to deliver. Rest assured: your donation will make a real difference.
