My Project

My students this year have expressed so much creativity, but I often don't have the materials needed to let their talents truly shine. Unfortunately, many of my students live below the poverty line, so they aren't able to afford supplies for themselves either.

Please consider making a donation to support my students' creative talent and dreams!

Having markers and colored pencils in a variety of colors would allow them take their art to the next level. Their ability to shine is important to me, and I can't wait to see all of the projects they can take on to show their creative expression once we are able to get the supplies for them.
