My Project

It's wonderful that you're looking to support creative exploration and social-emotional learning for students. Both art and physical activites supplies can play a crucial role in enhancing these experiences for my students. I plan to use these donations like the aprons to protect my students clothes as we paint, draw and play while we are learning.

I believe that every student deserves an opportunity to explore their creativity, learn essential life skills, and thrive in an educational environment.

To make this vision a reality, I am seeking donations to enhance our classroom's resources and activities tailored to our special education students.
