My Students

Our students are one of a kind. All of our students are respectful, kind, and a joy to be around. At our school, we work diligently to create an atmosphere that is academically rigorous and builds character. These scholars not only adhere to this environment, but excel in demonstrating the virtues of respect, integrity, diligence, compassion, and perseverance.

My Project

I'm looking to make fun crafts with my students all year long. Currently, we have only been able to use markers and crayons, but I want students to have new materials so that we can make different kinds of art projects. I also have planned holiday crafts for my students to make so I need the right materials for these too. In addition to arts and crafts supplies, I also need some organizational supplies to keep the supplies in my classroom. In the order I have organizational supplies for the crafting supplies as well as the books in a previous Donors Choose Project so that I can put the books on my shelf. My students love everything about art and I want to continue to grow their love of creativity!
