Creativity Through Art

Help me give my students the supplies they need to be more creative and aware.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Perry's classroom raised $198

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are special needs and are excited to make things creative. The attention span is growing and I would like to see it soar. The kids can express themselves through creative projects. The smaller markers are easier for their hands to manipulate. Each student glows to them when they succeed with a project. The snacks are to curb them until lunchtime. We have a late lunch. The wipes enforce cleanliness that the students are aware of. The crayons express brightness in their projects and drawings. Thank you.
