My Students

My amazing students are energetic and enthusiastic learners. They have a thirst for knowledge, which keeps me motivated everyday. My students attend an inner-city school with a high poverty rate. They continue to attend class on time and stay motivated to learn.

My Project

My students love to do art, but they lack the necessary supplies for art lessons especially during distance learning! With these basic art supplies, my students will be able to fulfill their love of art. With the watercolor set and paintbrushes, my students will be able to create their masterpiece in the sketchbooks that they recently received. Or, they can use the colored pencils to color their artwork and make it come alive. The pencil sharpeners will help keep the colored pencils sharpened and ready for the next lessons.

Please help support my students' love of art during distance learning!

Not only will this project provide the basic supplies my students need for art lessons, but it will also give them a moment of peace and happiness as they paint and draw to their hearts content!
