My Project

The items that we are requesting are to help us with a calming activity that we can do when we cannot focus on things in our life. We love to paint and make products. We can then sell these products at our Christmas Fair and use the money to purchase more calming activities for us. There are times when we just need to partake in a calming painting activity that we can feel good about making, plus, we can be a productive part of society and show the school that we can create beautiful projects.
