Thank you in advance for your support. My students are in need of a few basic art supplies to create some awesome art this year. These students are from low-income families and rarely get opportunities to do fun, creative activities. We use the requested materials on a daily basis. We use sharpies to trace out our pencil lines. Watercolor paint to fill our papers with color. Paper is essential for us to create each wonderful idea that the students have. Our state has not passed a budget which is now affecting the supply orders that have been placed. The students love art class and love to express themselves through artwork. The students are talented and enthusiastic about art. Not everyone goes into a math or English field, and I want all students to find something that makes them feel inspired. Your generous donation will help the students in my classroom create art and to present their work!
