My Project

We would love nothing more than to bridge gaps between our school and the community by inviting our scholars and their parents in to explore the arts!

Our scholars deserve to enjoy time interacting and building relationships with their friends and families.

We consider all of our scholars to be wonderful individuals and we are excited to be able to celebrate with them.

Our goal to have 75% attendance to our painting event. Some of the arts will be displayed around our school community, and others will go home with the scholars for them to be able to remember the wonderful time they spent painting canvases with their friends, families and member of their school community.
