My Project

"There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns." -EDWARD DE BONO

Our student's creative minds need your help!

We are slowly but surely running out of materials for our students. The use of color in our classroom makes it a more wholesome environment for our students to learn and use their artistic/creative minds. These materials will be available for the entire grade to use by any means that they see fit. Examples being and not limited to, include artistic projects, creating books, and color coding for math projects.
