My Project

Hello Donors! I am reaching out for your assistance with sponsoring some of the basic needs for our students at school. I am asking that you help with donating toward our Art classroom needs with items such as Colorations Construction paper, Elmer All-Purpose Glue Stickers, and Simetufy Canvas Boards. These items will allow our students to explore their creative nature and bring their imagination to life.

We are able to do a lot creative things in Art class however, we tend to fall short of how far we can go because of the lack of resources.

Please help with funding watercoloring Books and the Crayola Crayon classpack to allow our scholars to bring a little color to their bright ideas. Thank you in advance donors for all that you do!
