My Project

I am excited to start the year in a brand new setting. I want to give my students the chance to excel in art class, and I need these materials to adequately stock our classroom shelves. I have requested basic paper, glue, and drawing materials to get the year started. Being new to this school community, I want to start on the right foot. My goal is to get my students what they need to learn the basics they will carry with them through the years. Help us get set up for success!
