Kelsey launched her What Lifts You Schools program in 2018 and we are celebrating by giving away a full set of notebooks to a special classroom. We need your help to nominate a teacher who lives and breathes the values Kelsey strives to infuse into her artwork: Passion, Creativity, Community, Connection, Kindness – just to name a few.

10 foot tall wings made by 975 students between 3rd-5th grade!
The #WhatLiftsYouSchools curriculum was designed to provide teachers around the country with a fun and interactive way to learn about street art, creativity, self-discovery, while also addressing national education standards including:
- Self-Awareness
- Self-Expression and Creativity
- Writing
- Motor Skills
- 21st Century Learning
- Community Engagement
- Anti-Bullying
Over the course of 5 short videos, Kelsey covers important topics such as failure, the power of social media (using it for good), anti-bullying and how to create a mural. With downloadable templates, classrooms can create their very own #whatliftsyouschools mural to bring positive inspiration to their school community.
