My Students

When you recall elementary school, what picture comes to your mind? More often than not, it has to do with a moment where learning and creativity collided into a powerful moment. Putting that crayon on the page to create something that was never thought of before you.

My students are living in a neighborhood that does not empower creativity, but stifles it with poverty and devastation.

Our school has dedicated itself to being a creative safe haven for our students. Their talent is seen in the hallways and classrooms throughout the building. They thrive when learning taps their natural creativity and makes connections for them in a way that a paper and pencil activity could never achieve. They are wonderful students who are looking to express themselves in positive ways, while the world tempts them with other more dangerous outlets.

My Project

The students in my language arts classroom will be able to use that spark that comes from reading a good book in a variety of creative ways with these art supplies. Why complete a worksheet about James and the Giant Peach when you can create a detailed map of the journey? Why write an essay on the trials and tribulations of Bud in Bud Not Buddy when you can create a poster advertising the highlights of the book? When you provide students with the necessary materials for creative expression, there is endless possibility with what can emerge!

Please support my students in beginning the school year with the supplies necessary to release their creative talents.

Their talents will amaze and inspire you in countless ways! Your donation will allow us to ignite that spark in all of our worthy students. Thank you in advance for your support.
