My Project

Our students deserve the opportunity to be free in creativity and artistic expression. Unfortunately, we do not have all the supplies needed so that our preschoolers can participate in learning through art with the appropriate materials.

Your donation will help our school provide a robust experience in learning through art and creativity for our wonderful preschoolers.

Paintbrushes and paints will give our students the tools to create, while smocks and tarps keep their clothes and floors clean. Cork boards will allow us to display the beautiful artwork our students create so that everyone can enjoy it. We want to instill pride and excitement in our little artists!

Thank you for considering donating to our wonderful art program here at ECC.
