My Students

Our elementary students,K-5, consists of approximately 550 diverse students which includes over 60% who qualify for free and reduced lunches. We also have a population of English Language Learners from all over the world! All of our students have one thing in common...they love to paint!

Many of our students come from poverty and will often have difficulty reaching success in academics.

The art room is a place where ALL my students feel successful! My art students are very talented and are always eager when they see an upcoming painting project. The paint sets I am requesting contain 16 colors. This set is more complex than the traditional watercolor sets. Imagine my students' glee and excitement to use a set of 16 colors!

My Project

The paint sets I am requesting consists of colors which are more brilliant and intense than traditional watercolors they have used in the past. What masterpieces they will be creating using these paints! In addition, using these sets will deepen their understanding of color theory: warm & cool colors, complementary colors, analogous colors and much more!

Self-expression is a very important part of life...and all students love to paint!

By being a contributor to our elementary fine arts program, you are becoming part of our student's success and everlasting, creative memories! By providing these watercolor paint sets, you are instilling great pride and achievement in our children. Thank you for your donation!
