With the help of these supplies I can show the students at the elementary level the base elements for the Visual Arts program that I run in my school. Every donation will be a big help as my district no longer has the funding to help. As of recently the Wyandanch school district is in debt and mostly the teachers have to provide supplies for everything from pencils to paper. I have a year filled with great projects to show my students however not the funds. My students are very talented and can show some amazing work, I just need to provide the supplies.
