Help me give my students wonderful art supplies including colored sand, wooden picture frames, plastic lacing cords, and rock painting kits to fuel and enhance creativity and learning fun!
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are creative, imaginative, and curious learners who light up the classroom with their ideas and excitement for learning. They especially love art and the chance to express themselves through different mediums.
These art supplies will be used for both visual art projects and to support social-emotional learning in a fun, hands-on way.
With sand art and rock painting, students can explore colors, patterns, and texture while developing patience and focus. Through stencils and paint pens, they'll design beautiful picture frames to display cherished classroom memories. These frames will be a part of our special “Paint and Juice” art session—a celebration of creativity where students will take home their artwork and a special photo to share with their families.
Beyond the visuals, this project will help build stronger classroom connections and kindness. With beads and plastic lacing cords, students will create friendship bracelets or keychains—simple but powerful acts that promote empathy, generosity, and joy. These materials will help my students grow both as artists and as thoughtful, kind human beings.
Please help me put these marvelous art supplies into the hands of my most favorite artists. Thank you in advance for your support and consideration. You are truly helping brighten their world—one masterpiece at a time.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
