My Project

At our Title I school, many of our students face economic challenges, yet their creativity knows no bounds. We believe in the power of art to inspire confidence, expression, and connection. Unfortunately, we lack access to basic art supplies—simple things like paint, brushes, canvases, and easels that many take for granted.

This project will stock our classroom with everything we need to explore the world of visual art.

With these materials, students will be able to create, experiment, and learn through hands-on artistic experiences. Whether we’re celebrating Families Month through collaborative painting or exploring emotions through color, these supplies are the building blocks of joyful learning.
