With large-scale celebrations and gatherings canceled due to the pandemic, the Pinellas County Tax Collector s Office found a way to give personalized recognition to local fifth-grade students.
The 2020-2021 school year marks the sixth year for the Kids Tag Art Pinellas program, a partnership between the Pinellas County Tax Collector s Office, Pinellas County Schools, and various community sponsors, to raise money for local elementary art classrooms.
The KTA program enables participating art teachers to purchase much-needed classroom art supplies without having to dig into their own pockets. Funds are raised through online sales of the fifth-grade students artwork â unique, front-facing vanity plates â with 100 percent of the proceeds go back into the classrooms.
