This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. E from Bridgeport, CT is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Expressing Oneself Through Art

Help me give my students art supplies, to let their emotional creativity flow.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. E's classroom raised $332

This project is fully funded

My Project

The art supplies will be used so used students have time to calm down from whatever has upset them. Art therapy will give students a chance to express themselves without having to directly talk to someone when they are not ready to have a conversation.

As time goes by, I can interact with the student and break that barrier to help make the student's day brighter.

My school has a high percentage of low poverty. A calming environment is critical to a child having a successful day at school and even after school hours.
