Crafts for Self and Community Care

Help me give my students supplies to make holiday gifts for their friends and families, spread messages about consent (alphabet beads are to be used in consent workshops), and destress through art during final exams.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shafer's classroom raised $410

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The end of the semester is near and my students are excited to use art as a way to decompress.

Help me give my students art supplies to create beaded messages about consent, decompress from exams through art projects, and make holidays gifts for friends and family at no cost to them.

Beads, friendship bracelets, handmade postcards, painted pots for the plant clippings we've been sprouting, wire to wrap crystals for rings, and frames for the Instax photos we've been taking as well as journals with and for their poetry are the projects in mind.

Ms. Shafer Mission High School Grades 9-12
