Empowering My Students Through the Arts!

My students need a laminating machine, pouches and people colored crayons.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Coldros's classroom raised $309

This project is fully funded

My Students

My classroom needs a laminating machine, pouches and people colored crayons.

My students attend a Title 1 school and they are 5 and 6 years old.

We are a Title I school because 80% of our students receive free or reduce price lunch. My students come from low income families where there is only one parent working in the household. Even though my students come from a low economic environment they are eager to learn.

My Project

The materials will be used for my students to make their own version of themselves with the correct people colored crayon. Also, those people crayons will be used by my students to make a collage of their families. The laminating machine and pouches will be used to capture the beautiful drawings of the students work. Then they will be sent home as a keepsake.

A laminating machine would be a great asset to my classroom, because I would be able to laminate my students art work to send home to their parents for keepsakes.

As a parents you would love to keep your child's work from Kindergarten, so you can see how they grow and change over time. Please consider making a donation to our class project.
