Outfit Our Art Kit(S)! A Project From Ms. Rufino

Help me give my students an amazing virtual learning experience with creative tools!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rufino's classroom raised $403

This project is fully funded

My Students

I am so excited to meet my students for the first time, even if it's digitally! These children are a part of an incredible school community with dedicated leadership, teachers, and families. They have not had an art teacher for quite some time, so I can't wait to see their creativity shine!

As I build my room to enable my students to have the best art experience possible, I will need help for some of our families to access materials.

My Project

Outfit our Art Kit(s) with essential materials! As we start the year with distance learning, I wish to ensure all of my students begin on a level playing field. In order to do this, I am assembling 100 Art Kits for some of our neediest families.

By helping with this project, you are contributing to essentials for elementary art.

Some of our families do not have the supplies to begin their creative journeys remotely. If we were in the classroom, I would be able to provide them with everything needed. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, we will be working at home for at least the first quarter of the school year. I believe that all students deserve to have the most amazing art experience possible. Please help us make that possible!
