Description: The Framing Talent Grant aims to provide essential materials that help artists professionally present their work in art competitions. High-quality mat boards play a crucial role in the visual impact and preservation of artwork, yet many emerging and student artists lack the resources to properly frame or mount their pieces for exhibition. This grant offers financial or material support for the purchase of mat boards and related presentation supplies. By reducing this barrier, the program promotes equity in artistic competitions, ensuring that every participant-regardless of financial background-can showcase their artwork to its fullest potential.
Description: This grant seeks funding to create a dedicated storage and organization system for ceramic glazes used for our ceramics classes. Proper glaze storage is essential for maintaining material quality, ensuring safety, and fostering creative experimentation within the ceramics program. Currently, glazes are stored in a limited and inefficient manner, making it difficult to track materials, prevent contamination, and manage inventory. The proposed system will include proper shelving, glaze dividers, and labeled containers. By improving storage capacity and accessibility, this grant will enhance workflow efficiency, reduce waste, and support the artistic development of our ceramic students.
Description: Today's school libraries are transforming to accommodate the changing needs of the campus. Having shelves that are on wheels will allow for the library to be reconfigured to create spaces for collaboration, makerspace projects, guest speakers and community events. In addition, the added flexibility will allow for new technology integration as well as allow the librarian the ability to arrange the furniture in a way that benefits the students. With traditional bookshelves that are not mobile it is very difficult to adapt the library over time to meet the needs of the campus and the growing variety of programs that are offered.
Description: This grant will fund the purchase of a dedicated art cart-a mobile station designed to organize, store, and transport art materials and tools. The art cart will make it easier to bring creative activities into different classrooms, community spaces, and to competitions. It supports flexibility in teaching and ensures that art supplies are accessible, secure, and ready for use wherever inspiration strikes. This art cart will be especially useful for transporting 3D artwork to our competitions. It folds up to make it much easier for transportation.

Description: Molecule modeling kits offer chemistry students a hands-on way to visualize and understand abstract chemical concepts with greater accuracy than improvised craft-type materials. Unlike makeshift models, which often distort bond lengths, angles, and spatial relationships, therefore relying on the students to already understand the concepts in order to create the models, molecular kits are designed to accurately represent real atomic sizes, bonding capacities, and geometric constraints. This allows students to explore true-to-scale 3D molecular structures and better grasp how atoms connect and interact. By physically building and manipulating models, students move beyond memorizing formulas and flat diagrams to seeing chemistry in motion-understanding molecular geometry in a tangible way. Modeling also promotes critical thinking and problem-solving as students test and visualize how structure affects chemical behavior. For visual and kinesthetic learners, these kits transform difficult topics into interactive discovery, bridging the gap between theory and reality. Ultimately, molecular modeling kits provide both precision and engagement, deepening conceptual understanding.
