Art Aprons-Invest to Avoid a Mess

My project needs 35 aprons for the art room to protect student clothing.

  • $244 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I am the art teacher at Crooked Creek. I teach 516 students every week in my classroom.

In the art room we use a number of materials that can be hazardous to your child's wardrobe. No matter how careful we are, accidents are hard to avoid. Currently we are using plastic disposable aprons. These aprons rip very easily and do not cover well.

I would like to purchase a classroom set of aprons for the art room. The vinyl aprons I have chosen are durable and washable. This is an essential investment for the art room that should last for a very long time.

Parents you spend so much money on clothing for your children, please spend just a few more dollars so we can help make them last! Thanks so much for your support!
