My Project

The students are not provided with art supplies from our school, so we rely on supplies from DonorChoose to stock our classroom with supplies to have a successful start of the school year. I want to make sure that they are ready to hit the ground running with supplies such as specialized art paper, paints, sharpeners, motivational posters and a drawing stand to help me to do instructional live demos during class that will project to our smart board. My students are incredibly enthusiastic about the arts and can’t wait to start another school year. Please help us to make the start of the 2024 school year amazing!
