Help me give my students the opportunity to express themselves through art using crayons!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Russell's classroom raised $197
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are starting out in the world of education and are ready to explore and create. By having new crayons we will be able to create projects and work on vital fine motor skills that will follow them throughout their educational career. Many of my kids have not even had an opportunity to explore what color on a paper can do yet! With your help and support they will soar to new heights artistically! All the while building those important muscles in their hands to help them become great writers and artists of the future.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
