Help me give my students the opportunity to self-create a mural that will represent them and their class. Included are paints that we can use in order to have the students paint this mural.
We would love to create an inviting and community environment for our students. Our Essential Skills Program is for students with intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, and autism. The art teacher and I have come up with a creative plan to have our students do an evolving mural where students that are graduating from our program can add to the mural each year.
Included in the project are items like paints, brushes, and drop clothes.
These would be all the supplies to be able to complete this project. Our goals for this project are to create an area that our students can feel ownership in their school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
