My Project

My students come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds in an urban neighborhood. They attend an alternative education program designed for students in elementary and middle school who struggle in a regular school setting for various reasons.

My students deserve to feel proud.

They should know that other people believe in them and feel confident that they are able to create something wonderful. They struggle with a range of learning disabilities and emotional disorders, and some lack a stable home life. Even with the external stress that surrounds them on a daily basis, they remain hardworking, talented, and driven.

Having the basics for running an efficient K-8 art classroom is crucial to keeping children supplied and organized. This project will help replenish basic supplies such as paper, paint, and paint brushes. We have run out of some of these things and do not have a budget to replenish them, but they are important for student learning and well-being.

Art is extremely important as a therapeutic outlet for special needs and at-risk students. Art allows students to express themselves, explore the world around them, and develop critical thinking skills to help them in all aspects of life. Students will benefit by having these supplies on hand to use throughout the school year for art projects and snacks to fill their bellies.
