Art Enrichment for Middle School

Help me give my students specialized art supplies for middle school art enrichment classes.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mathenia's classroom raised $624

This project is fully funded

My Project

This year our advanced middle school students have the opportunity for two art enrichment classes that have previously never been offered! After speaking with the students about interests we have decided to offer a jewelry class!

I personally have some materials for the new curriculum but require many more that are not only tools for the class but also consumables.

Please help me with purchasing tools and supply items for this special jewelry making enrichment class. Our students are so excited for this opportunity and can't wait to dive right in!
