My Project
These art supplies will inspire us to new creations. My students are always creating and experimenting with materials. There is never enough paint for the school year and canvases will help them express themselves. The mini drawing pads help to improve their fine motor skills. You can never have enough craft sticks. They are used throughout the room for many activities.
Busy hands make beautiful art.
We will be able to create exhibits for our end of year art show. All materials will be used for my budding artists exhibits.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
