Art Rocks in the Garden

Help me give my students an artistic experience that brings color and joy to our school garden!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mullen's classroom raised $478

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school has a wonderful garden space that needs some personal touches from the students. We want to give the students an opportunity to add their own art to our community space. River rocks and paint will allow an artistic experience for all students to add their own piece to our garden.

Please help our budding artists!

They will love painting original designs on river rocks to add to the garden. This will help the kids feel a sense of ownership and belonging when they see their rock in our school garden.
