Help me give my students a storage rack, storage bins, pencil sharpeners and other needed supplies for their art rooms at our three elementary sites.

My Project
This year I am setting up three art classrooms to teach art to almost 800 students this year.
After 19 years of teaching in the 3rd through 4th grade, I am taking on a new adventure of becoming the district elementary art teacher serving TK through 5th grade at three different sites.
As I go through the materials, inventory, and replenish items in each of the three classrooms, I am finding that I keep needing to get additional supplies.
One of the classrooms I share with the music program and after school program. Space is tight so I need the storage bins on this grant to help me keep materials organized. Also, one of the sites needs a painting drying rack. This is a crucial item for an art room.
That is why I always turn to Donor's Choose to ask for help. This community of school supporters is an amazing resource to us teachers.
I hope to make these art rooms a place that students can't wait to come back to each week. A place where they will grow self expression, self esteem, creativity, mindfulness, motor skills, and growth mindset all while having fun.
More than half of students from low‑income households
