Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The items being requested are basic supplies used every day in art class. If the glue sticks, crayons, markers, paints, and paper are provided, other more advanced mediums will be funded for next level projects. The Sharpies alone are one of the biggest cost for the art room but most useful. Our school and district is a very low income district and struggles to keep up with the consumables of the art room. All 1000+ K-5 students benefit from these art supplies and enjoy the out-of-the-box learning that they get with the different mediums they are allowed to use.

My students are very creative and I want to provide them with multiple supplies to make their projects and thinking next level.
