My Project

In our school, a lot of our students don't have the same access to things like art supplies or even basic computer accessories. It's tough because, without those tools, they miss out on chances to express themselves creatively or navigate technology comfortably. We don't even have an art class here, so opportunities for creative exploration are pretty limited.

We're putting together a big art set with markers, crayons, colored pencils, and all sorts of stuff so that our students can really dive into their artistic side.

We want them to have the chance to experiment with different mediums and styles and to let their imaginations run wild.

But it's not just about art supplies. We're also getting some comfy mouse pads and computer mice because we know how important it is for kids to feel comfortable and focused when they're using computers. These might seem like small things, but they can make a big difference in how our students learn and work.

Our goal with this project is pretty simple: we want to give our students the tools they need to succeed, both in and out of the classroom. We want them to feel confident expressing themselves creatively, and we want them to feel comfortable and capable when they're using technology. Because at the end of the day, our students are pretty amazing—they're creative, resilient, and full of potential. And we want to do everything we can to help them reach that potential and succeed.
