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

The materials that I am asking for are very much needed to fill an art studio classroom properly. Having crayons to create colorful works of art is always a necessity in the art studio. You would be surprised to see how quickly crayons get used in the art room.

When students complete their paintings or any works of art in progress that need drying, a drying rack is the best option to have in the art studio.

Having this drying rack that can hold up to 60 works of art is essential for the many classes of students I see back to back in a given day.
