No More Worn Out Brushes

Help me give my students new supplies like paint brushes, paints and paper. We always need these because we run out of paper and our brushes get old because we use them so much!!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Strozier's classroom raised $598

My Project

My students love to paint. They come to art every day wanting to paint, and these materials will help us do that. I have a new book that I can't wait to use. It teaches a simple way to paint over 250 awesome things from dinosaurs to helicopters. I know my students will love learning to paint all the different animals, foods, vehicles, and buildings.

My students will be so excited to paint from this book, and they must have these new supplies in order to complete these paintings.

We have not done much painting this year, and I know they will love learning to paint everyday objects. Maybe this painting project could inspire one of my students to become a children's book illustrator, an architect, or even an animator/cartoonist. I cherish every day that I can help guide these young minds and help them see a bright future full of opportunities.
