Creativity at It's Finest

My students need paper, paint, markers, and other supplies for upcoming projects and activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gordon's classroom raised $212

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are creative, young citizens who are diverse in their ethnic background. They come to my classroom full of life and energy. Their homes and families are rich in culture and tradition. While my students are creative and bring so many ideas to the table, they often lack the necessary resources to provide the opportunities, tools, activities, etc., to explore their ideas. I am seeking resources to create more opportunities for them to learn and grow through the arts.

My Project

These supplies will provide more creative opportunities for my students. They will be able to paint on canvas, learn more about scratch art, and use additional watercolor colors. Without your support, my students will not be able to purchase or use these supplies. These supplies will reach many students and be shared among several different age groups and grade levels. Your continued support and generosity will help me continue to build my program and uphold the A+ Magnet School philosophy that will in turn help prepare my students for the next grade level and ultimately college and a career in a competitive market.
