Awesome Art Auction Assistance!

Help me give my students supplies for an awesome art auction this May!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Sykes's classroom raised $1,061

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help our students make this year's art auction their best yet!

These supplies enable our students to express themselves through exciting art that will be auctioned off to support Celentano Biotech, Health, and Medical Magnet School.

But we need your help. The supplies we need for the students to create their work as well as the materials we need to set up physical space for the auction are costly. For the auction to be a success, we are looking to our supporters to help us fund the materials for this event so we can pour the proceeds back into the school.
