Setting Up a New Art Program for Students K-5!

Help me give my students quality art materials for our new art program!

My Project

There are over 500 students at WES in Gresham, OR in the Reynolds school district. Students are so excited to finally have art class and I am setting up a program from scratch! Help me provide them a quality program!

I believe strongly that art not only is fun and therapeutic for students, but is a means of providing equitable education.

Many of the students at Wilkes would otherwise not have the exposure to art education.

I am asking for a lot of materials such as markers, crayons, scissors, and a drying rack because there are over 500 students who deserve to work with quality materials.

We greatly appreciate your consideration and support!

Ms. Sarah Wilkes Elementary School Grades 3-5
