My Project

I love how fun and excited my students are when it come to Art class, stopping me and asking me in the hall everyday (do we have art today).My students will be able to benefits from these canvas, paper, and paint by having the supplies we need, and not having to wait until all our wishlist items may or may not be purchase from my school. They will have all the things that we need for our art class to be a successful year. Thanks to Donorchoose and the amazing donors for always looking out for our community:)
