Summary of PPDP Goals:** My PPDP Goal is to plan a Community Arts Day for the students at Lafayette.

My funds will be utilized to build more of an "arts" community within my school and to advocate the importance of art in education. With in my PPDP goal, I am planning a "Community Arts Day" where I will invite students and parents to come together to enjoy art for the day by participating in art projects and setting up a "mini" Gallery, where student artwork from throughout the year will be displayed. At the "Community Arts Day", I would also like to present the school with an assortment of framed prints that I have selected to be displayed around the school and act as the start of a collection that we would like to build here thereafter the grant money is used. We will continue to build that collection by soliciting local business to sponsor a framed print to add to our collection. If a business decides that they would like to donate a framed print to the school, the name of the business will in turn be displayed on a spall plaque below the Print. (aka. Purchased for Lafayette School by "Generations Restaurant"). We will continue to add to this collection with the idea of the schools hallways becoming a sort of "mini gallery" as you walk through them! Along with the framed prints that will be presented on the "Community Arts" Day, I would also like to purchase 2 Screen Printing kits to be used as one of the activities for the day. This will be the "highlight" project, as it's not something that my younger students get to experience. I have found that using cut out newspaper works really well when doing screen prints, and it's very quick and easy to clean up. Therefor it will be an exciting and in-expensive way for the children to experience something new!
