Art After School Club Needs Supplies

Help me give my students art supplies for projects like sculpting (paper & clay), painting and tie-dye t-shirts. These projects in our after school club will help teens relieve their stress and express their personalities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shannon Kay Ellis's classroom raised $192

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our teen students need a safe space to experiment and create freely: expressing their personalities, discovering their talents, and depicting their interests, dreams & goals through art. We will be offering a variety of projects: clay sculptures, tie-dye t-shirts, paper sculptures, ceramics, murals, and many more kinds of media. We need extra supplies to use outside of our typical art curriculum inventory.

Please help these teens find an outlet for the stresses of their world through art.

We will be starting this group in the last quarter of the school year. Thank you for your support.
