  • Wisdom from the Experienced!

    Funded Dec 24, 2023

    As an art educator, the support from donors like you who choose to invest in my classroom is truly invaluable. Your thoughtful consideration in selecting my classroom for your giving means more than words can express. With your generosity, I am able to provide enriching experiences for my students that enhance their creativity and passion for art. Your recent gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers has allowed me to access a wealth of professional development materials, including meticulously crafted lesson plans, comprehensive art learning curricula, and engaging PowerPoint presentations. Additionally, I've been able to incorporate interactive art educational games into our curriculum, making learning not only informative but also enjoyable for my students.

    I am deeply grateful for your kindness and support, which extends far beyond the monetary value of the gift card. Your investment in my classroom fosters an environment where artistic expression is nurtured, skills are honed, and creativity flourishes. Your generosity has a lasting impact on the educational journey of each student who walks through my door. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in the power of art education and for making a difference in the lives of my students.”

  • Supply Labels with Photos for All to Read!

    Funded May 12, 2023

    Thank you so much for donating to my classroom. I was able to purchase Art Labels for my classroom. Not all of my students speak English, nor do all of my students read English. The Art labels help my English Language Learners to recognize where the supplies are and also assists my students with learning the English written word with the photo of the item on the label.

    Your contribution to my classroom will help my students learn how to choose the supplies they need with confidence. The labels also brighten up my classroom with all the colors if offers. Thank you so much for all your support!”

    WOW! What a blessing! Thank you so much for all the colorful construction paper! The students were so excited when the box was delivered! We can't wait to start creating new art projects with all the paper. I appreciate your support greatly! With the new paper we can begin creating our Valentine's Day projects and in return hang up our art work and make our school's hallway look bright and cheerful! Every grade that I teach (kindergarten through 5th grade) will be able to participate now that we have the extra supply of construction paper. Thank you again for making our ART Fun for everyone!”

    Funded Oct 26, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating supplies to our Art room! The kids were so excited when they saw the box. When I opened the box they said " oh wow! We have a lot of colors"! Usually we have to buy a limited amount and so now that we have these new boxes we have a variety of colors to choose from. with a lot of colors! We were able to draw some beautiful under the water fish with our new oil pastels. The students were so excited to use the new oil pastels. Each student had their own set of oil pastels to create the different designs on the fins. Thank you again for supporting our art classroom!”

  • Paint, Paint, and More Paint !

    Funded May 2, 2022

    Thank you so much for all the paint colors! My students were so excited when the box of paints were delivered. The students were ready and eager to paint that very day!

    My students are learning about Autumn and how the leaves change colors. In art class the students were able to pick leaves from the ground and then trace the leaves onto their paper. From there the students used Oil Pastels to trace the leaves.

    The best part about our art project was when the students were able to use the paints that we received from donors choose. The students painted Red, Yellow, Orange, and Brown leaves with a Blue and Purple background. The new paints made our art work look amazing and the students were so grateful for all the new paint colors!

    Thank you so much!”

  • First Aid Supplies for All!

    Funded Mar 4, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating to our classroom. The art room is full of exciting and fun projects and sometimes we get paper cuts when we use the new paper for our art projects. Thank you for your donation to our first aid supplies and band aids!

    The students saw the box of first aid supplies delivered and they were so excited to be able to choose which size and shape of band aid they wanted. It is funny to see how one little thing like band aids could mean the world to the students in the time of need!

    When the students get a paper cut or a scissor cut, they can clean and prep their cut and place a band aid on it right here in the art classroom. Sometimes something as small as a band aid really makes the difference in how the rest of your day ends up being. With the ability to show my students that I care about their safety I have found that the students are able to feel loved and cared for.”
