Paint Me a Rainbow!

Help me give my students the art supplies they need to foster their creativity!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. LoConte's classroom raised $259

This project is fully funded

My Project

Unfortunately due to budget constraints, our students do not have art class as they had in the past. These supplies will be used for weekly art projects in my classroom.

I want to motivate my students to work hard during the week and reward them with a fun weekly Friday art project.

These supplies will be used for the art projects. I want to expose my students to these fine arts experiences even including an origami project!

My students will absolutely love creating these projects and being able to bring them home!
