Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

As part of my commitment to providing enriching and engaging educational experiences for our students, we strive to create a dynamic learning environment that fosters creativity, self-expression, and artistic exploration. However, due to budget constraints, we are currently in need of additional art supplies and equipment to enhance my preschooler's art education program.

An art easel would be an invaluable addition to our classroom, providing my students with a dedicated space to create and display their artwork.

It would not only facilitate their artistic development but also inspire them to explore different mediums, techniques, and styles.

I believe that access to quality art supplies and equipment is essential for nurturing our students' creativity and fostering a lifelong appreciation for the arts. By donating an art easel, you would be making a tangible and meaningful contribution to the educational experience of my students.
