My Project

We are looking to start the year off strong with some fun artistic projects for the library. The materials here will allow our students to make custom locker magnets, have fun with rubber stamping, make friendship bracelets, and learn the art of printmaking.

Our new morning art club will love these new supplies.

We are thrilled to welcome back our artist-in-residence who is a DHMS parent as well as a Georgia State University art professor. Most of these supplies are hand-picked by her to help us be even more creative than ever this school year.

Also included in this request are some things that make our library function throughout the year--including sharpened pencils, clipboards, and more UNO decks! We love providing our students with a welcoming, fun, inclusive, well-stocked, creative library, and we thank you so much for supporting us this school year.
