Kinnaman Creates!
Kinnaman Elementary School

Recipient: Nikki Chappelle, Jordan Crownover, Katie Eubanks and Jennifer Nevarez
Award: $1,010
Kinnaman Elementary fifth graders have more opportunities to connect with peers and relieve stress thanks to weekly art class, made possible through Beaverton’s Choice funds. What began as a single classroom project, quickly gained momentum transforming into a grade-level program. Thanks to generous donors, every fifth grader is able to express themselves through art and gain experience turning mistakes into opportunities. And, it’s fun! Students’ joy during art time on Fridays is palpable. They get excited to share their spin on the project and always point out their specific art piece as we walk down the halls.
