My Project

Welcome Sy 24-25! This will be my 3rd year as an ECA art teacher, Please help my student and I re-start our art room, Last year we lost our class and had to resort to art or a cart, so a lot of stuff we could not use and shared a lot of materials with other teachers and classes and most of it did not make it back home. So here we are again having to re-start our class materials and supplies that will get my babies and I through the school year.
