Art Supplies for Mini Artists!

Help me give my students the chance to explore their love of art! My sweet kiddos absolutely LOVE anything art related. With the Crayola Paint, we will be able to do a wide range of art projects!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Benson's classroom raised $367

My Project

My students give me the drive to teach every single day and I want to give them something back to surprise them. They are passionate about so many things but their main passion is art! My kiddos are extremely creative and using these supplies will allow their creativity come to light!

More than 3/4 of my students come from low income housing and are unable to supply school supplies throughout the year.

These supplies will make a big impact on the students learning. I can’t wait to see the looks on their face when they find out about our art supplies!
