Help me give my students spiral bound sketch pads so they can practice their visual arts lessons, plus baby wipes so we can have a clean and healthy classroom.

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 fifth graders live in a primarily working class and immigrant neighborhood that is currently going through some demographic changes. Some of my students are learning English as a second language, some have special needs, and they all love to learn. They especially love project-based learning, which is a staple in our classroom.
Our motto is, "The world is changing, and change starts with me." At our film and communication magnet, our students share their learning with the school community and the surrounding neighborhood as they host student film festivals, project museums, and special events like book battles.
My Project
Contour drawings. Two point perspective. Principles of design. Storyboards. These are some of the art lessons we do in our fifth grade class.
We are asking for sketch pads that we will use when we are studying art techniques and the artists that use them.
My students will also use their sketch pads when they want to brainstorm, plan projects, or just draw for fun. I know that some of my students will fill their sketch books partway through the year, so I'd like to have some extra pads for those ambitious kids. We are also asking for baby wipes to clean up after messy lessons like collage and painting.
With your generous donation, my students will fill these blank pages with ideas, creations, brainstorms, and of course, art. Who knows, maybe the next Kahlo or Vermeer will emerge from our class! My student artists and I thank you!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
