My Project

As a teacher, I see firsthand how art opens doors for self-expression, emotional development, and creative thinking in my students. Many of my students lack access to quality art materials.

Our classroom is full of eager young learners who light up when given a chance to create.

However, we currently lack the basic supplies to support regular, meaningful art experiences. I am requesting essential art supplies—including crayons, markers, and scissors so that each child can fully engage in hands-on art activities throughout the year.

These materials will not only enhance fine motor skills and creativity but also support cross-curricular learning through integrated art projects in reading, science, and social studies. With your support, my students will have the tools to turn their imaginations into reality and grow as confident creators.
