Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Art supplies are indispensable in shaping a vibrant learning environment for our youngest learners. Their ability to express themselves and craft art projects tied to various themes and festivities makes their early years profoundly memorable. Not only are they able to create tangrams on the light table, but they can also use dry erase markers to make intricate pictures. The ink allows me to print their artwork and provide them with engaging projects to assemble, further enhancing their creativity and fine motor skills.

The primary objective of this fundraising project is to furnish diverse materials, enabling creative exploration, bolstering self-expression, refining fine motor skills, nurturing collaboration, fostering a stimulating ambiance, and advocating for the pivotal role of art in early education.

Our students hold a unique place in our hearts, and investing in their creative endeavors is fundamental to enriching their joyful learning odyssey.
