My Project

Art supplies positively impact students’ ability to learn in the classroom. Studies have proven that when students have their school supplies, their grades and classroom behavior improve, and they become more excited about school and learning. Classroom art supplies are necessary to facilitate creativity and learning. Without these, it is impossible to initiate lessons.

By donating to this project, you are helping ensure every child has access to the art tools needed to further their learning exponentially, work collaboratively with their peers, and meet their individual learning needs.

These supplies will help my students' creative art projects come to life with colored pencils, markers, and crayons. The canvas will highlight my students’ artwork and the folders will help organize their artwork.

I want my students to have the necessary supplies to create, grow, and succeed in the classroom.
