Help! My Creative Juices Are on Lockdown

My students need supplies, such as scissors, construction paper, glue, pencils and crayons.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Peoples's classroom raised $386

This project is fully funded

"I'm the proud teacher of some eager and sometimes rambunctious third graders. Our school is located in the a southwest side community of Chicago. This community is of low to modest income families and our school consist of 96% free lunch students.

It sometimes becomes a taunting task to complete a creative art project with so few supplies. Your creativity is somewhat limited with a few sheets of copy paper and sharpened down pencils.

It is my hope that we can find a generous heart to help us by providing such items as construction paper to create colorful art projects, scissors, glue, pencils and crayons to be prepare for fun and imaginative activities.

So, please help us to keep the juices flowing as we create some very imaginative projects and simply have fun each day while knowing that we have materials to use freely. Thanks for your consideration.
