Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hello, I have some really messy young artists. I teach 6, 7, & 8th grade students at Alta Loma Middle School in South San Francisco. During the year we paint, work with clay, and use pastels, just to name a few mediums. The students at our school wear uniforms and I would like to be able to keep them neat and clean even after we have worked with the messy mediums. So, with that said I would like to ask for artist smocks. The students would wear these artist's aprons; they think it is cool. They won't wear regular aprons or shirts from home, as I have asked numerous times. But, I brought in a few smocks of my own and they loved them...Thanks in advance for anything you can do to free up my artists' creativity.
