My Project

My students come from a low socioeconomic neighborhood. Most of them don't have supplies at home to make crafts, draw, etc. They enjoy drawing and cutting out their artwork.

I want to give them some supplies to take home during the winter break so that they may be creative.

They will need the construction paper, glue, and Twistables to use to create craft projects at home while they are out of school.

Thank you for your contributions to this project. My students are always happy to receive the supplies that come in for them.
