Creativity and Social Emotional Learning Through Painting.
Help me give my students paint, brushes, and Bristol board so I can increase their means of self-expression by exploring painting media and processes.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Curtis's classroom raised $453

Celebrating 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
All students should have the opportunity to explore color and self-expression through painting. Our school is a Title 1 public middle school serving students with special needs. We are a relatively new school and are developing our art program. We have many talented student artists here with whom we want to provide access to multiple ways of making and learning about art that support:
Self-expression
Social emotional learning
Hands-on learning by doing
Fine motor skill development
Our students will be beginning a painting unit, and we want to provide them with paint, brushes, and Bristol board. Your support will be highly valued by our school community!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
