My Project

Our students have entered the school building this year after being out for 2 years. They have overcome so many struggles and have done nothing but continue to show growth, perseverance, and kindness to others. As a celebration of all their hard work this year, this project is to provide them with supplies to do their favorite thing which is drawing at home this summer, in addition to merchandise to have fun under the sun! I am getting crayons, markers, and colored pencils so they all have different drawing utensils to add to their creativity and continue to practice using different tools as they learned in art this year. I have also requested drawing pads so my students all have paper in an organized location. I have requested sandboxes, sunglasses, and beach balls so they have merchandise to play with at the beach.
