My Project

We are thrilled to share our latest DonorsChoose project, aimed at enriching our students' creativity and hands-on learning experiences!

We want to inspire our young artists and innovators.

First on our list is the Cricut StandardGrip Machine Mats (12in x 12in), which will allow our students to explore their imagination and create stunning designs with ease. Coupled with Cricut Infusible Ink, they can take their projects to the next level, transforming ordinary materials into extraordinary masterpieces!

We also hope to add ARTEZA Real Brush Pens—a set of 12 vibrant watercolor pens that provide endless opportunities for artistic expression. Plus, we'll need Cardstock to serve as the canvas for all those colorful creations.

To keep everything organized, Photo Storage Boxes will help our students store and showcase their artwork. And for those who enjoy crafting, a Beads Bracelet Making Kit and a Friendship Bracelet Kit will foster creativity and teamwork among peers.

Lastly, a Digital Sport Stopwatch Timer will add an element of fun to our projects, allowing students to time their creative sessions or even create fun challenges
