Parents and community members listened to students as they talked about working with Gonzales, school community liaison Alma McBride and auto sub Alex Morris, both artists.

Gonzales’ donations include “Grandmother’s Wisdom,” “At Home With Books” and “The Gift of Reading,” all valued in the thousands of dollars.

Gonzales also has graciously agreed to be the featured artist at the Sept. 28 A is For Art! celebration, hosted by the APS Education Foundation.
