My Project

We are in desperate need of new painting materials for our classroom...desperate need! We are really looking forward to having some fresh paints, brushes, and other materials to provide painting variety in the classroom.

My students LOVE painting, and they deserve to have some fresh paints and brushes, and exciting tools to paint with!!

Most of our brushes and paints are from many years ago...and have definitely seen better days. We all would appreciate an upgrade and replenishment of these favorite supplies, and we all are so thankful for all your generosity and support we feel over here at BOES!

Blessings to you all!
