Thank you for your generous donation. With the grant that was awarded I was able to purchase shelving for students to safely store their artwork in my classroom. I was also able to purchase items for matting and hanging artwork. Having individualized storage space for my students has been very beneficial to the students' creative growth. Students feel comfortable leaving their precious artwork in my room and coming back a week later to finish their work. Providing the children with their own storage space for their art helps the students foster a sense of ownership and independence. With easy access to display artwork, students are now more likely to engage in art activities, leading to greater enthusiasm for the subject. Students thrive in environments where they feel important and having their artwork displayed gives students a sense of pride and accomplishment. These items are and will continue to instill the love of art will help grow their love of learning for students.
