My Project

Hi! I am a Pre-Kindergarten teacher and asking for your help! We are located in an inner city district with a very limited budget. Most of the time this is many students' first school experience. Children in our classroom are encouraged to create their own projects in the art center. We are asking for donations to help fill their art center with a variety of drawing tools. We have basic supplies such as paper, crayons, and markers but to help children increase their creativity we want them to be able to experience different paints, textures, and even glitter! The containers we are asking for will even help the children become more self-sufficient in their process.
