My Project

As a teacher of K-5 students, I have the privilege of working with children who bring curiosity, energy, and imagination to the classroom each day. Many of my students come from underserved communities and have limited opportunities to engage with high-quality art materials outside of school. Art not only enriches their lives, but also enhances their learning in other subjects by fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and self-expression.

Unfortunately, our classroom budget doesn’t allow for the purchase of essential art supplies such as paints, brushes, paper, markers, and clay.

These materials would enable my students to dive into meaningful projects that align with their developmental stages and personal interests. From painting masterpieces inspired by stories we read, to creating models that reflect their understanding of science and history, art integrates seamlessly with their academic growth.

Your generous support would empower my students to discover their artistic potential and bring their ideas to life. By contributing to this project, you are helping to cultivate future innovators, problem-solvers, and empathetic thinkers. Thank you for considering my students and for being part of their journey to learn and create!
