Help me give my students the right to expand their horizons. With no art teacher for 3 years, the classroom needs essentials like a mat cutter, a paper cutter, light box, labeler, easels, paints and aprons. Thank you!!!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Taylor's classroom raised $784
This project is fully funded
My Project
When Ms Taylor started teaching art at Dicky Hill, they did not have an art teacher for at least 3 years. The classroom was used for storage, cluttered and dirty. The materials and tools were gone. The classroom is cleared out and classes are underway.
The children are enthusiastic, attentive and open to new things.
However, the school, as many schools are, is underfunded. Not only are basic supplies lacking, but there are also no tools to perform art projects.
Providing the cursory items on this list will allow for small things like cutting paper, easels to teach painting, a light board to learn design theory. These lessons will teach the kids organizational skills and responsibility. It will enhance attentiveness and motor skills.
Ultimately, the paintings and drawings, sketches and designs will be matted and displayed in public. You will be helping these children experience pride, higher self-esteem, diversity and brighter futures.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
