My Project

My students are creative, curious, and full of potential, always eager to express themselves through art and writing. However, many of them lack access to basic supplies like markers, crayons, colored pencils, and pencils, which limits their ability to fully engage in hands-on learning activities. By providing these essential tools, I can foster their creativity, improve fine motor skills, and encourage self-expression. These resources will allow them to bring their ideas to life, whether through colorful illustrations, thoughtful writing, or collaborative projects. My goal for this project is to ensure that every student has the materials they need to explore, create, and grow academically and artistically. My students are special because of their resilience, enthusiasm, and determination to learn, and I want to support them with the resources they deserve.
