Help Us Bring Art to Our Special Education Classroom

Help me give my students art supplies that they will enjoy and are tailored to meet their needs!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Schmitt's classroom raised $198

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

Our students in our class love to create masterpieces. Please help us to bring the supplies to them.

Fine motor practice is essential for this class, and art is a great opportunity to work on these skills while having fun.

Since our SpEd students are in a smaller classroom and get projects tailored to them we can do more!

Knowing what they enjoy doing most, I'd love to fund a few materials to bring during art activity. Creating their masterpieces gives them a sense of ownership and pride in their work. They will be so excited to see what we've gotten!
