Art and Garden Resources

Help me give my students art and garden supplies. We are running low and using old art supplies to the best of our abilities. We are starting a garden to show students sustainability.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Welsch's classroom raised $1,000

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are low-income students that love art to escape and to put down their feelings onto paper. The garden will help the students that have been raised in the city to understand where their food comes from and how to grow their own and be sustainable. The garden will also help them get exercise and sunshine and learn to work together. Art and Gardening are both beneficial social and emotional learning tools. By providing these tools I know that my students will be grateful to have these tools. Thank you for this opportunity!
