My Project

Our school has the highest refugee population in the nation. Our students come to school to learn, build connections, and be happy. They are kind, safe, productive, and focused on their future.

Support students in having safe hot glue guns (cool glue guns) to continue making cardboard creations in our art club!

After attending a STEAM Conference in San Diego, I was inspired to make cardboard superheroes with my own students and they are loving it! They are learning to recycle and repurpose cardboard to make art, but we need more glue guns (cold guns) so all students can use them safely, without burns. Your donation will ensure my students have the tools for safe, hands-on, meaningful learning, and experiences to express their creativity in school!
