My Project

My 1,350+ students come from extremely challenging and diverse backgrounds. They are constantly exposed to violence, anger, and other forms of negativity. Many of my students live in crowded homes, foster care settings, etc.

These students are in dire need of positive distractions for their mental health and wellness, as well as for their safety.

Please help me acquire more "paint by numbers" kits, as I purchased a dozen last year, which were all taken home by needy students. When they return with photos or stories about their paintings, I know that it served as a relaxing, positive moment in their chaotic lives.
