Creative Little Hands Need Art Supplies

My students need art supplies to help them make creative works of art.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vidal's classroom raised $295

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 Students

My Kindergarten students love to be creative. They look forward to our weekly art projects. Unfortunately, with all of the recent budget cuts, we are unable to purchase the supplies that we need in order to allow our students to express their creative minds.

I teach a group of 26 enthusiastic and energetic 5 year old students.

The majority of our school population is comprised of English language learners. They are very hardworking students and they do their best to accomplish their academic goals. Art is a universal language, a form of self expression that can eliminate barriers and obstacles to learning. Art activities are important because they encourage each child's creative development. Participating in art activities allows the children to increase motor skills, express thoughts and feelings, develop language skills and finally to increase the self-esteem of the child by allowing them to create something that they are proud of.

My Project

By donating to this project, you will help our students further develop their artistic abilities. The art supplies that our class needs such as tempera paints, dot art painters, giant washable ink pads and arts and crafts materials will not only allow my Kindergarten students to express their creativity, but it will help them to improve self-esteem and pride in the projects they create. .

We have limited funds and materials for the arts in our school and your donation will allow our children to have experiences that they may not otherwise have.

Your help will ensure that these amazing students and future students have the opportunity to express themselves creatively. I greatly appreciate your help in funding this project.
