The school district has a wide variety of students of different social and economic backgrounds. The majority of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch though. Most students come to school without the basic necessities needed to learn. Art is an escape for many of the students who aren't very successful in core curriculum classes. Trying to meet the needs of a 120+ students on a daily basis requires me to think outside the box to reach their individual needs. I also work with many students with physical and mental disabilities. Inspiring a love of art and keeping kids engaged is one of my top priorities.
