NCLB: No CAPS Left Behind

My students need 12 half-gallons of acrylic paint of various colors and 50 wooden dowels.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. S.'s classroom raised $215

This project is fully funded

Caps, caps, caps!!! The Art Room is busting at the seams with caps!!! My K-5 students have been collecting caps all year!

We have ALL these caps and we want to use them to create a work of art. Not to mention, we have overgrown courtyards in desperate need of some updating and sprucing up. They need a touch of color.

Here's the catch....we need more supplies to create these works of art. We need plywood, paint, and dowels. We want to cut the plywood into garden shapes and paint them in cheerful colors. Then we want to attach the caps like a mosaic to add that special oomph! Last, we'll attach the dowels and add them to our courtyards! Voila!! A cheerful, happy addition to a drab, dull space!

Your help will make it possible for my students to ensure that No CAP is Left Behind!!
