Help me give my students spiral bound premium sketch books for artistic expression.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McNeal-Smith's classroom raised $474

My Project

My students are developing their creativity through daily art and STEAM-based projects that encourage self-expression, design thinking, and visual storytelling. I am requesting spiral-bound sketchbooks to support their growth as artists. These sketchbooks will give students a dedicated space to explore ideas, practice techniques, and reflect on their learning over time. The spiral binding allows for easy page turning and a flat surface to work on, making them ideal for both classroom use and independent study.

A high-quality sketchbook gives students a sense of ownership and pride in their journey through art.

It encourages consistency and experimentation, helping them document their progress and grow in confidence with each page. These sketchbooks will be used for drawing, planning projects, visual journaling, and capturing creative ideas in a lasting, personal format. With your support, students can fully engage in their journey through art and develop their skills with purpose and passion.
