My Project

I teach an incredible group of curious, creative, and kind-hearted students who love expressing themselves through art and hands-on activities. Every day, they show up ready to learn, eager to explore, and excited to bring their ideas to life.

The supplies I’m requesting—pencils, markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, scissors, and paint sticks—are more than just classroom basics.

They are the building blocks of creativity and engagement. With these tools, my students can create vibrant art projects, participate in interactive lessons, and develop fine motor skills, all while building confidence and joy in their learning.

These materials will make a huge difference in helping students stay focused, motivated, and excited about school. Your support will allow every child in my classroom to have what they need to fully participate and thrive.
