My Project

Hey cool friends, it's DonorsChoose time. My project is to help get my students the things we have been dreaming about all year and spread creativity. It is a huge part of not just children's but also everyday lives; it becomes so important in personalities, skills, careers, etc. Creativity is what makes us all ourselves and unique

Ending the year on a shining note and beginning next year with a groovy note.

My goal for this project is getting supplies that will not only help this year but years to come. Things like decoration to spread creativity and positive vibes, art supplies to encourage creativity, and most importantly the fairy stress relief stump. Teaching students are creative way to relieve negative feelings or stress.

My students are mostly from low income or refugee/immigrant families. They also are exceptionally creative in so many ways. I want to help encourage and help them in anyway I can. With these supplies it will help us tremendously for all of us. With your donation it'll make a huge positive difference in the classroom. With your generosity we can spread creativity in the world, starting with a classroom and maybe more.
