Exciting News: DreamMugs

Dranesville Elementary’s PTA thrilled to announce our partnership with DreamMugs, a nonprofit focused on empowering kids with disabilities, through AI-generated art! DreamMugs specializes in collaborating with young minds to bring their imaginative artwork to life on beautiful, tangible products.

This March, in honor of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, the program will kick off with a pilot program designed for our special education classes. This initiative is a testament to DreamMugs' commitment to inclusivity and their mission to provide a platform for all children to express themselves and shine.

Following the success of the pilot, DreamMugs will also open its program to families who want to support its mission, offering a chance for others to participate in this enriching experience later in the school year.

Supporting DreamMugs means supporting a mission that cherishes inclusivity, innovation, and the sheer joy of creativity. Let's come together to encourage our children to dream big and create freely! Stay tuned for more details on how your child can leave their mark with DreamMugs.
