On Thursday, October 3, 2019, members of the Master Singers of Milwaukee and CBRE teamed up to work with the students of Goodrich Elementary. Across 5 grades and 3 classes they participated in art projects encompassing the theme of The Great Cathedrals. In a collaborative effort to bring attention to the beautiful art program at Goodrich Elementary, the MSM and CBRE ran a donation drive for art supplies that would go beyond basic supplies and allow the students to venture into bigger and more imaginative projects. The generous contributions of time, resources, and supplies were felt in the smiles and exuberance of the students who took part in this powerful experience.

The MSM would like to thank Principal Sharonda Harris for hosting us at her school as well as Mrs. Neault (Grades 1&2), Mrs. Burns (3rd Grade), and Mr. Steger (Grades 4&5) for allowing us to work with their exceptional students. We would also like to extend a special thank you to Mrs. Posy Knight, art teacher at Goodrich Elementary, for imagining the potential in a cooperative effort like this and embracing our involvement. Finally, we would like to thank the students of Goodrich Elementary whose energy, enthusiasm, and open hearts truly moved us and made this such a special and moving experience for the volunteers.

We hope that in some small way this inspires you to connect with the wonderful art here in Milwaukee and consider supporting the arts in our schools and our community.
