Master Piece Art is an ongoing program for the Elementary Students with local volunteers teaching the classes. George Pope comes and does a watercolor demonstration to all the upper grades of Elementary. The funding comes from your generous donations and grant writing. We had written several Grants for tickets for low-income families. 33.5% of Elementary Students are low-income. Of the monies raised to date 85% have been from grants and 15% from local donations. Some grants need matching funds and without increasing support of area businesses and personal donations we wouldn’t be able to acquire some grants.
