How did PiE-funded staff and classes have an influence on your life?:

Ms Veitch’s creative writing class got me excited for telling stories and inspired me to pursue journalism in high school, which brought me to where I am today! All of my PAUSD art classes (from finger painting in kindergarten up to high school ceramics) instilled a love of creativity in me, and I still keep an art journal which helps me express myself and clear my head.
