My Project

Our students are naturally curious about the world around them. They are creators, innovators, and critical thinkers. We want to foster our students' creativity and learning by allowing them to have a "creation station" where they can make, build, draw, paint, and design.

Kindergarteners love to create, and having plenty of art supplies helps them explore their imaginations while building important skills.

With the materials from this project, our students can express themselves, develop fine motor skills, and learn how to problem-solve in fun, hands-on ways. Art isn’t just about making something pretty—it helps kids grow their confidence, think outside the box, and work together. Your support will give these young learners the tools they need to bring their ideas to life and make their classroom an even more exciting place to learn!
