Color My World!

Help me give my students new art supplies so they can make their work shine bright!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lee's classroom raised $389

This project is fully funded

My Project

Most of my students come from low income households where their families are struggling just to pay the monthly bills. My students families do not have the money to purchase art supplies and materials at home. I try my best to give my students opportunities for art in the classroom that they would otherwise not have at home.

Integrating art into my classroom with thematic units engages students in their learning.

Help give my students new art supplies so they can make their projects shine bright!

These materials will help enrich our learning by allowing for students to be able to create projects, presentations, and work they can be proud of.
