A Message from the Wilshire Park Art Specialist

During this last week of our Spring Giving Campaign, we wanted to share one more testimonial that came in, speaking to the direct impact that WPPA funds have on our students' learning environment, and the opportunities these funds help open up:

"As the Art Specialist at Wilshire Park I have the privilege of watching first-through fifth-grade students grow both as artists and members of a global community. I am continually thankful for the opportunity to work with such a wonderful, diverse, creative, and caring group of young people. Every year the Wilshire Park Parents Association has provided start-up funds that help cover the rising cost of art supplies that the art budget does not. Supplies are purchased with these funds that are used directly by students such as pencils, pens, clay, specialized papers, visual aids, and art education materials. WPPA has also purchased art display boards that have not only been used to exhibit art, but also used multi-functionally, as they are now providing room display space for the classroom on the stage.

I am a
mazed at the support of WPPA which has demonstrated their belief in the development of Wilshire Park students by addressing special requests, 
such as the year the Art Department and The Gifted/Talented Department designed a Beyond-The-Studio event hosted at Silver Wood Park and requested funds to cover bus transportation to and from the site. You are such an important piece of your child’s education and experiences. Thank you! -- Mrs. Frudden, Art Specialist"


It's not to to late to give! You can send cash or a check (payable to WPPA) to the school office, or give on-line. Thank you for your support!
