My Students

Our school strives to bring out the best in every student who walks through our doors. In order to do this, we offer classes that meet a variety of interests and do our best to help our students find what they are passionate about so that they find their personal strengths. This is achieved by having faculty and staff who are passionate about kids and what we teach.

I have the privilege of teaching six art classes this year, four Art 1 classes, and two upper-level art classes.

Many of my Art 1 students have never had a formal art class before, and the majority of the materials we use are completely new to them. Included in my 150 students are roughly 40 to 50 English Learners who are almost always exceptionally talented and dedicated and often underprivileged. While many districts around us are struggling with overwhelming COVID cases, our students are so incredibly happy to be back in the classroom that they are diligent about wearing masks, using hand sanitizer, and making sure that they follow all of our COVID protocols. We are all just equally thrilled to be back together as one big family, face to face.

My Project

I grew up in rural West Virginia and one of the most memorable art projects I was ever taught was Silk Screen Printing. However, I teach in a much larger school district, in a much larger school, and we unfortunately do not have the supplies for me to introduce this amazing technique to my own students. Not only is this simply a super cool Art technique, it is a possible career path for my student artists.

The materials that I'm requesting are what we need to begin teaching this technique every year.

These materials also open the door for our Art Club and National Arts Honors Society to create fundraising materials and create gifts for our staff and administrators. I can't wait to share this amazing technique that I fell in love with so many years ago with my own students very soon.
