Sugar Mill Elementary School fifth graders will create specialty license plates as the first participants in the county’s Kids Tag Art program, coordinated by the Office of Will Roberts – Tax Collector.
The KTA program integrates fundraising with art and creative inspiration.
“We are excited to join forces with other Florida tax collectors in supporting arts education,” Roberts said, “This is an opportunity to raise much-needed funding for arts education while also teaching students about the state’s specialty license plate program.”
In the art room, the program begins with a lesson about Florida’s specialty license plates, including how plate sales benefit specific organizations.
Art teachers work with students to design a vanity plate for a cause that interests the student.
For the KTA inaugural year, the office is partnering with the art program at Sugar Mill Elementary School in Port Orange.
Parents and community members can buy the student-created plates. All proceeds will go to the school’s art program.
The Volusia County Tax Collector also has partnered with FUTURES Foundation for Volusia County Schools to garner financial support from the community.
