Art Room in Need!

Help me give my students a way to create and express themselves as well as a great way to take accountability and responsibility for their art work

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ford's classroom raised $595

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My art students need specific materials, which will greatly enhance their learning and aid in their social-emotional regulation through expression.

Thank you for considering this request.

Your assistance will make a significant difference in our students' experiences. I want to express my gratitude for the support in our art program. Our students have been greatly impacted by COVID-19 and, therefore, have been without the ability to learn how to express themselves in and out of school through the power of art and expression. Thank you for believing in our future!
