My Project

Many of my students have emotional challenges that are not easily expressed with words.

Their love for painting has been a great outlet for them while allowing us to display their work and their feelings.

These canvasses and aprons will give us the tools we need to allow for creativity and expression. I have previously done Donor's Choose projects with art supplies and we have run out of canvasses. These new ones will give the students the opportunity to create art and take it home. I have had a few students make pieces for their favorite classroom teachers which then helps spread happiness throughout our entire school.
