Help me give my students a food service rack to be used as a drying rack for all our painting and mixed media needs.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are eager, enthusiastic young artists. They come into the art studio willing to learn, take risks, and explore their creative potential. Through our time together, I have had the opportunity to know them as individuals. Many have come up through hardships in their childhood that are more than anyone should experience in a lifetime, yet they persevere. A large portion of my school's demographic receives free lunch and other services.
When they enter the art room, they find a space that is welcoming and supportive.
We use many of our projects to reinforce learning through their academic courses and to support STEAM in our school. My students want to be positive members of society, want to participate in problem-solving, and want to find success in their academic endeavors. My students' eagerness for learning surpasses expectations. I take honor in my role as their art teacher. I hope to inspire, motivate, and open their ideas to creative endeavors.
My Project
For this project, I am requesting a food service rack to be utilized as a strong, stable drying rack. This rack is on wheels so we can move it as needed, but also is adjustable. This will open its usage for many different types of projects, securing them safely for drying and storage. It is much stronger and made well so I know that we can get years and years of use, helping numerous kiddos create art knowing their artwork will be well cared for and safe while drying until the next art class.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
