Color Me Artistic!

Help me give my students the necessary drawing supplies, such as paper, pencils, crayons, and markers to help bring their magnificent artwork to life!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Walls's classroom raised $768

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These art supplies will bring so much joy to my students because they absolutely love art. My students and I are at a disadvantage because we do not have a physical art classroom. I am a mobile teacher that travels to each class. With these supplies, my students will be able to utilize different mediums and include specific details, like texture and value, which will bring their drawings to life.

By donating to our project, you will not only help my students become extraordinary artists, but you will also help create a more fun and exciting environment for my students to thrive in.

With these supplies, my students will begin to see themselves as the true artists they are. We will use these supplies to let our creativity fly high! Your help is greatly appreciated in turning our dream into a reality. Thanks!
