Art Supplies for Young, Inner-City Kids!

Help me give my students art supplies: playdough, pencils, crayons, paper, dry-erase markers, erasers, and ABC whiteboards.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. A. Martinez's classroom raised $564

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

I am requesting basic supplies that my young students need at the beginning of the school year. Playdough, crayons, dry erase markers, and pencils will help my students develop their fine motor skills in a fun way to explore their creativity.

Crayola crayons are essential to every classroom, especially with young learners.

They will use them every day and in every academic subject. I will use the pad paper for them to be creative and use their fine motor skills. Young students love art! They love to draw! These supplies will help them explore their talents.
