My Project

In our ceramics class, getting those pencil boxes will be a game-changer for our students. They'll spend less time hunting for tools and more time getting their hands dirty in the clay. Our main aim? To keep things organized and teach responsibility. What makes our students stand out? They're creative, always up for a challenge, and know how to have each other's backs. Mistakes? They see them as part of the process. With your help, we can keep that creative spark alive and give our students the tools they need to thrive in ceramics.

Mrs. Marcinko will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 21.
