HC Art Doing Its Part

To say that Schools Count Corp is a grassroots non-profit is an accurate statement. As such we depend upon lots of individuals and groups to contribute, in many ways, to this cause.

Few groups have done more for our charity, and the students we serve, than the Art Department, and its students, at Hinsdale Central High School. The ways in which they support Schools Count are many!

Students might purchase a snack in an artroom and donate some change or a couple of dollars towards building a school in Petit Goave, Haiti. In recent years the National Art Honor Society has sold artwork and donated much of the proceeds towards the purchase of art supplies that are provided to the schools of New Orleans. At other times, the students and staff have run various types of fundraisers in order to generate funds so that general classroom materials can be brought to the students in New Orleans.

Within the next few weeks a number of Central students will create miniature artwork for an auction. You guessed it...the proceeds will benefit students in need.

Whether raising funds for art supplies, creating artwork, aiding our charity in bringing an art kiln to Warren Easton High School in NOLA, or generating interest in art programs elsewhere the students and staff at Hinsdale Central have used their talents and generosity to help where help is needed.

Hats off to HC Art!!

Many thanks,
