Building Artists, One Supply at a Time

Help me give my students art supplies like markers so they can transform into artists!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Garcia's classroom raised $634

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

I love watching my middle school students transform into artists - exploring ideas, building confidence, and expressing themselves. Many lack access to basic supplies, limiting their creative growth.

My goal is to give them the tools they need to learn through art.

Markers, glue, erasers, sharpeners, and tagboard portfolios will help them stay organized and create with confidence. Tape supports collaborative projects and sanitizing products are essential since we have no sinks. These materials will enhance creativity, responsibility, and teamwork - skills that make a lasting impact on their learning.
