My Students

Our school proudly represents an international community that speaks many languages and represents many cultures. Our multicultural mosaic gives our school a global perspective with high expectations for academic success. The students are highly motivated; the families of these children expect a guarantee of success. To assure the children's academic success, it is vital to provide only the best resources possible.

Students can only achieve if they have the necessary tools to do so.

The families of our children have sacrificed much to be in this country and the children hope to fulfill their families' dreams for success. For that reason, we try to bring the best resources to our students in the hopes of realizing high expectations that will lay a foundation for future opportunities.

My Project

Having basic staples such as paper, paint, and glue sticks is necessary as these items are used so often in the art studio. We go through them so quickly!

Having high quality painting/drawing paper makes all the difference.

When students paint they often spend a lot of time focused on one area of their work. Having good quality paper can mean the difference between paper that eventually has a rip or hole in it from overuse and a beautiful work of art. Glue sticks and paint are always a vital necessity!

Your contribution will truly help our budding artists revel at their final masterpiece.
