Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Help me give my students a more interactive and impacting opportunity to let their imagination grow and develop to depths they may have never reached before.

With these supplies, my students will be able to experience art in ways that haven't been able to before due to lack of supplies.

Using old crayons, markers, and colored pencils as well as 'hand me down' supplies from other classes has greatly diminished and hindered them.

With these new tools and new experiences, my students will tap into parts of their creativity and imagination they weren't even aware of.
