FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dunn's classroom raised $701

This project is fully funded

My Project

My 8th grade students are so amazing and creative! They are also conscientious of their community and how they can contribute positively in the world around them.

The gardening and art tools and supplies will allow my students to participate in collaborative gardening and art activities that will not only beautify the spaces around them at school and their homes, but will also be practical and beneficial to their physical and social-emotional health and development.

My students will engage in gardening and art activities to help them express their love and care for themselves, each other, their school and their community.
