My Project

Due to scheduling conflicts at our middle school level, our students do not have art class, so we like to supplement in our room so that they are able to be creative! These items will allow our students to explore their creativity by painting or drawing or coloring. We know that art is a HUGE benefit for the students' minds and we would like to be able to feel like a real art class with all the different choices. By donating to our project, you will be giving these students amazing opportunities!
