Help me give my students art supplies, coloring books, and other craft projects.

My Project

I teach an incredible group of curious, creative, and kind-hearted students who love expressing themselves through art and hands-on activities. Every day, they show up ready to learn, eager to explore, and excited to bring their ideas to life. Many schools today, including mine, lack the funds to provide creative and fun art projects. As a math and science teacher, it's important to incorporate art into our STEM activities every day.

The supplies I’m requesting will allow students to have basic art supplies like markers, canvases, tape, paper, etc, but also allow us to bond through projects like painting together, making slime, crafting bracelets, and building our classroom community.

They are the building blocks of creativity and engagement. With these tools, my students can create vibrant art projects, participate in interactive lessons, and develop fine motor skills, all while building confidence and joy in their learning. We will be able to utilize many of these items in our daily math and science instruction.

These materials will make a huge difference in helping students stay focused, motivated, and excited about school. Your support will allow every child in my classroom to have what they need to fully participate and thrive.
