My Project

Please help me give my students access to quality instruction with the purchase of supplies that will support their learning. This project will allow my students to have engaging learning resources, like copy paper and Desktop Storage to support all learners.

It is our overall goal to enable our students to use these resources to create Arts integrated activities.

These activities will give the students the ability to connect their work to art and vice versa. Our goal is to make our students better.

Mrs. Mackey Dogwood Middle School Grades 6-8
