Many of my students do not have any art supplies at home. Most of the lessons students are completing at home require drawing so drawing paper and color pencils are essential. Learning about and creating art is an important component to a child's education, and during these stressful times creating art can help children express themselves emotionally. Students need drawing paper and color pencils to create art and complete projects at home. For many families, purchasing art supplies is not possible. Many people in this community have had their lives dramatically affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic.
