My Project

Hello! We would love to create science projects for our eighth-grade class, but we need craft materials. We need markers, colored pencils, paper, foam balls, glue sticks, and pencils. These basic materials will create solar system models and even more!

These items will make a huge difference in my students' learning by allowing them to be creative without adding cost burdens to their families.

Many of our families are low-income and struggle to provide art materials for their children. Our students are very special, and I do not doubt they can create projects demonstrating mastery and creativity if given the right materials.
