Shazam Art From the Ordinary.

Help me give my students the best art year ever, with quality art materials.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Louison's classroom raised $584

This project is fully funded

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 Project

My students are the reason why I come back every year. They are thirsty for learning. Once they are given good instructions, they produce superb art. These supplies will enhance the level and quality of our art projects this year. My students will have hands on artist experience and will be more apt to complete their work. Last year, they have already demonstrated a high interest in painting and sculpting. Therefore, they will be thrilled to have more opportunities to continue, knowing the material will be there. We are really counting on Donors Choose to make a miracle this year for Salazar. Our students cannot afford to pay for their own supplies. Please help!
