FULLY FUNDED! Ms. A.'s classroom raised $1,757
This project is fully funded
I am the art teacher at a year round elementary school in Wake County, NC. We have approximately 800 students in our school, and all of them come to my class! I teach 6 or 7 classes of art every day. I try to teach my students using a variety of media, including painting and collage. Unfortunately, my small, broken drying rack is unable to accommodate more than one class. I have taken it completely apart, hammered the shelves flat, and put it back together again twice. Each time it works better for a few weeks and then the shelves warp again and it no longer works correctly. Since it is malfunctioning, not even my 5th grade students can put their artwork on it by themselves, so I have to stand next to the drying rack for the last 10-15 minutes of class instead of helping students with their work. I have strung a clothes line across the room, but this also only holds one class set of work. Drying racks are very expensive, but a good one can last for years and give thousands of students the opportunity to paint and keep their paintings safe while they are drying. I am asking for donations to purchase a large, sturdy drying rack that is safe for students to use and that can accommodate all of my classes with its many large shelves. I hope you will help contribute to the cost of this drying rack to help my current and future students at this school have the opportunity to paint more frequently. Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal.
