My Students

The students at our Michigan school love art, they love making art, learning about art and reading about art. The art room is a very nice area, but has n carpet or rug area for students to gather and learn. Help us get one!

Every student at our school is full of talent and creativity, they love painting, making collages, animation and most of all working with clay.

we are an inner city school with lots of love and heart, every day the students put all they have into what they are doing and learning.

My Project

Please help us get a rug for the art room. This will help in many ways like defining a space for us to gather for instructions and presenting demos, a place for reading and give a soft area for the students to sit and talk about what we have learned in class.

This rug will help all of the students have a place to gather and have fun and learn at the same time.

Each day we have class the students are learning valuable information for the rest of there lives.
