    Crayola Visits Ellicott Elementary to Reunite Former Student with Artwork Created in 1997 With The Help of Mack Hollins

    On October 8, Ellicott Elementary School in Orchard Park, N.Y. welcomed a very special guest – Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins and representatives from Crayola – to celebrate creativity and its importance in students’ lives. The event was part of Crayola’s Campaign for Creativity, which focuses on inspiring children to express themselves through art. Hollins, known for his passion for creativity, encouraged students to embrace drawing and dancing as fun ways to show their individuality. One of the highlights of the celebration was the return of a special piece of artwork created by Kailey Artiles, a former Ellicott Elementary student. Her artwork, made over 25 years ago in 1997, had been safely kept at Crayola’s headquarters in Pennsylvania. Now, it was coming home, showing students the lasting impact creativity can have on their lives. This was part of a larger Crayola program that began in 1984, where children’s artwork from across the country was showcased in museums and galleries. In addition to inspiring the students with stories of creativity, Crayola made a generous donation of more than $1500 worth of art supplies to Ellicott Elementary School and The Teacher’s Desk, a local nonprofit. These supplies will help students continue to explore their creative sides, ensuring that their artistic journeys are just beginning. The day was filled with excitement, art, and the reminder that creativity plays a key role in helping students reach their full potential.
