__Minigrant Reflection __

Money used to purchase...

My money was used to purchase a collection of prints to be framed and hung around the school. I chose prints that I thought were appropriate for not only the lessons that I teach, but also for the community of students I teach. The framed prints will be given to the school during our "Community Arts Day"

To continue the collection that my minigrant money started, and to continue to bring community to our school, I wil begin to solicit local businesses to show their support by purchasing a print for the school, and advertising the business name under the print. This will build our collection, and show the support of the community. I also used some of my mingrant money to purchase 2 new screen printing kits for my "Community Arts Day". By purchasing these kits, parents and students will have the oppurtunity to make prints on paper using newspaper cut-outs, and participate in an activity that most elementary students wouldn't have the opportunity to do.

Note: The idea of purchasing a collection of prints for the school was taken from an article I read when participating in the grant program entitled "Masterpieces in the Hallways".
