A huge thank you to Pioneer Elementary VPO for your incredible generosity and support of Peninsula Hands On Art this year!

Art is such an important part of a child’s education. It encourages creativity, builds confidence, inspires self-expression, and helps students see the world in new ways. Because of your continued support, all our students have had meaningful opportunities to create, explore, and grow through art all year long.

We still have plenty of time to complete our last project this year, "The Will to Quill." Ask your students to show your their new quilling skills!

For 13 incredible years, Dr. Justin Piasecki with Operation YOJ has been our dedicated Premier Sponsor, helping make hands-on learning possible for thousands of students. Because of his continued generosity and belief in the power of creativity, 16,000 student art projects are created every year with PHOA right in our schools, including this year’s Yayoi Kusama-inspired, eye-catching project, “For the Love of Dots.”

With just 4 weeks left to bring this project to life, we’re especially grateful for champions like Dr. Piasecki who believe in inspiring curiosity, creativity, and confidence in our students through art.

Support like this doesn’t just fund our art supplies, it helps open doors for students to explore their imagination, express themselves, and experience the joy of creating.

Please join us in thanking Dr. Justin Piasecki for 13 years of heartfelt support and for helping ensure our students continue to have access to meaningful art education and inspiring projects like these. We are truly grateful for his ongoing support!
