Rusheon Middle School

UPDATE 4/24/07

Still has multiple displaced Katrina students.

Greatly in need of digital camera's. Most students
are inner city and Katrina kids do not have any
photo's because of the storm.

12 Digital cameras (with a minimum of 5 megapixels for
printing purposes) are greatly needed for this schools
art classes/programs and art competitions. Right now
they only have 4 cameras total and this is just not enough
to go around to all the students to make good use of them.
would serve this art program immensely.

Brenda Lauw is a very passionate and dedicated art teacher,
working with students with a lot of challenges, who
reaches deep into her own pockets and has to constantly
write grants (but doesn't get much response). Grant leads
would be very much appreciated as well as ongoing support
with supplies and donations.

She is running very low on sketch paper, drawing paper
and artist supplies and their school just doesn't have
the budget for this vital need. She was only recently
able to take her students on their first field trip and she
would love to do more field trips in the future.
