My Project

I am seeking donations of LEGO bricks to support a creative and engaging printmaking project with our elementary special education students.

LEGO bricks are a wonderful tool for these activities, allowing students to explore textures and patterns while developing fine motor skills and artistic expression.

By incorporating LEGO bricks into our lessons, we can provide a unique, hands-on experience that makes learning fun and accessible for all students. The Legos would be greatly appreciated and will make a meaningful difference in our classroom.

These supplies provide our students with an invaluable means of self-expression and learning. Art offers a unique way for them to communicate their thoughts and emotions, fostering both creativity and confidence. Your generous contributions are helping us create a more inclusive and inspiring environment where every student can thrive. Thank you for your support and for making a positive impact on our students' lives.
