My Project

I am excited to share a unique opportunity to nurture our Pre-K students' creativity and global awareness through an engaging and meaningful art project. This initiative aims to provide my youngest learners with the paint, markers, tape, paper, stickers, smocks and other arts and crafts resources they need to explore their artistic abilities, express how they see the world, and work together to create a collective masterpiece that reflects unity and oneness.

With your generosity, I can give my Pre-K students the tools and experiences they need to grow as active learners and future leaders.

Together, we can help them create something extraordinary—not just in art but also in how they see and contribute to the world around them. Ie would be honored to have your support in this endeavor. Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in our children's future.
