My Project

What I love about my students is their creativity. As a classroom teacher, I have found it challenging to give them time to be creative due to a lack of art supplies in my room. My goal is to expand my art cabinet so that my students can easily access the materials they need and begin their creative projects. Often in school, students who struggle in core subjects have no outlet to discover their strengths. By providing my students with access to these supplies, I will be able to offer this support to many of them.
