Basics for the Spring!

Help me give my students supplies to finish up the school year! We have had a busy year and running low on the basics in our classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Markee's classroom raised $497

My Project

My students have been busy creating and experimenting with different media in the art room! Exactly what we want our young one to be doing; hands on activities! Supplies for the basic, everyday use materials are running low!

These supplies are vital for our students to fully engage in various artistic projects and activities planned for the remainder of the school year.

By having access to a variety of quality art materials, our students can explore different mediums, unleash their imagination, and develop their artistic skills.

Your generous donation of markers, paint, and oil pastels would greatly contribute to enriching the learning experiences of our students and ensuring that they have the necessary resources to express themselves creatively. Whether it's through colorful paintings, intricate drawings, or mixed-media projects, your support will have a significant impact on their educational journey.

Thank you for considering our request and for your commitment to supporting the educational development of our students. Your generosity will make a difference in their lives and inspire them to continue pursuing their passion for the arts.
