Still I Rise had an incredible time serving students at Edison Elementary School and Kennedy Middle School by providing life-size Mother’s Day cards for students to personalize and present to their parents.

The experience became even more special as Still I Rise Operations Manager and professional fine artist Aaron Robinson led an engaging art workshop, where students enthusiastically participated in a live drawing session that inspired creativity, self-expression and happiness.
