Memory Project

Sophomore Kimberly Stanley (pictured below) recently created a portrait for the Memory Project. According to the project site, "The Memory Project is dedicated to promoting intercultural awareness, friendship, and kindness between children around the world through the universal language of art... By facilitating the creation and delivery of heartfelt artwork and poetry made by children for children, we strive to break cultural barriers, leave children with a unique childhood memory, inspire creativity, show children living in difficult situations that they are valued, and cultivate a kinder world. We want to empower teachers and students in their pursuit of the same goals."
