My Project

Art kits can make a meaningful difference in our fifth graders by supporting their creativity, confidence, and emotional growth as they prepare for middle school.

Art kits are important because art gives students a voice to express their feelings and ideas.

The kits will serve as a healthy emotional release during the transition from elementary to middle school. Art also helps kids to make choices, solve problems, and explore.

It's essential that they have art supplies at their fingertips because not all students have access to basic art supplies. A donated kit for each student ensures every child has a chance to be creative. Thank you for supporting our 5th graders!
