My Students

Our Pre-K program is in an urban public school in Lower Manhattan. We are a Title 1 school which means that most families are low income. We have three classes with about 50 students. The three head teachers are all graduates of the school and there is a strong sense of community among the staff, children and families. We prepare art projects for the children via Zoom and with your support we hope to unleash their creativity and imagination.

My Project

In the coming years, there will be a drastic change in teaching in the classroom. Students will no longer be able to share supplies. With your generous donation each child will be able to have their own set of paints and paint brushes.

With these tools we hope to bring out the Picasso in our students.

They will be able to use these materials at home for distance learning as well as in the classroom. Providing these tools will alleviate the families' need to go out and purchase them on their own.
