My Project

Students at my school do not get to take basic art classes because our school day does not allow enough time for students to take such classes. I am trying to find a way to bring the arts back into our school.

Having the necessary supplies to create art and craft projects will make my students very happy.

My students enjoy doing art when they complete their other assignments. Students have even asked if they can do their school work at home so they can do art at school.

I would love to be able to provide my students the supplies they desire to be able to complete art and craft projects at school.
