My Project
My students are extremely creative. They absolutely love art.
I want my students to have the opportunity to express themselves artistically in our classroom; especially since we have not had an art teacher in the building for the last few years.
Some of the work they have created has amazed me. They love drawing, painting, and creating their own works of art. For many of my students, this gives them an opportunity to show their natural talent. For others, art is extremely therapeutic. Having these materials in the classroom would give them so much joy.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
