Toilet Paper For Art? San Marin High School Art Students Need Supplies
As a community, we can help our local high school arts students. It takes a village.
"We have no money for our art class and we are using toilet paper as an art supply. This is particularly hard for the students who take art who have special needs. Art is one of the ways they can express themselves. Can you help us?"
I was aghast and heartbroken hearing this from a mother and her daughter, a senior at San Marin, when they came to my recent realtors' Open House. They noticed my name on the A frames throughout town advertising a home for sale and asked for my help.
Toilet paper. Novato schools have been harder than ever. As a community, we can help these students. It takes a village.
