My Project

Our students would benefit from a project that brings them together with their families, their school community, local businesses, and community leaders to facilitate a hands-on project to promote kindness. Students at this age understand the price of goods and services and know that special effect crayons are out of our immediate art budget and are doing our best to earn these new materials. We will be creating artwork using all different kinds of crayons if we can get these specialty colors.

And kids love to draw with crayons!

We're making masterpieces at our school to help promote a kinder, more accepting, and more inclusive environment for all our life-long little learners. My students need the materials to make their creations complete! They all need these specialty types of crayons to make their artwork pop!
