My Project

Although students are required to take art classes, many cannot afford the class fees. Providing us these essential supplies will help us keep class fees low. As the teacher, I am always running short on supplies and have drained much of what was stockpiled before Covid, as so many materials were sent home, never to be seen again. I also have some students who need adaptive equipment like a light with magnification to see the work that they are making. This would be a long-term tool that would stay in the classroom to help students for years to come. Creativity is imperative to achieve innovation, and I want all students to have space to practice problem solving, creative thinking, and design. I am asking for wire, safety glasses, pliers, tweezers and other items so students can create jewelry. I am also requesting a variety of different kinds of paper so my students can draw and paint and create!.

After Covid exacerbated unaddressed mental health issues, I want to emphasize the importance of teaching my teens to express themselves in positive ways.

Every day I meet kids that need this outlet. Please help me connect my students with art and build skills crucial for them to grow up to be healthy adults.
