My Project

Help me give my students the supplies needed for our special education classroom and new Art & Culture Club!

This is a population of underprivileged and minority students with limited funding, and we could use the help.

I am a special education teacher in my fourth year of teaching at a Title 1 school and I am very passionate about what I do. We do not have an art class at my middle school so a dedicated ESL teacher and myself started an Art & Culture club on Friday afternoons. We currently have 6 female students whose first language is Spanish. They benefit from this creative outlet and us as teachers have an opportunity to build stronger relationships with them. We anticipate our club welcoming more students and good use the help. These supplies include art kits, paint sets, and markers. Thank you in advance 🥰
