Help me give my students a paper cutter, drying rack, paint and other tools they need to create and explore, to support my Pre-K through 5th-grade artists. Your generosity will prepare and inspire creativity in every student.

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 creative, curious, and enthusiastic learners who embrace every opportunity to explore and express themselves through art. From Pre-K to 5th grade, they use their energy and imagination to build new skills and expand their understanding of artistic concepts. These resources will support key learning objectives by providing tools for hands-on exploration and skill development.
Felt will enable students to study texture and create layered, vibrant collages.
Watercolor paper will help them practice painting techniques, including color blending and brush control. Black and white construction paper will encourage them to develop contrast and composition skills. Glue sticks will support their ability to assemble mixed-media projects, while paint sticks offer a mess-free way to explore bold, expressive mark-making. A drying rack will protect their artwork during the drying process, teaching patience and care for materials, and a paper cutter will allow me to efficiently prepare materials to suit their creative needs.
These materials will empower my students to think critically, explore various artistic techniques, and confidently express their unique ideas in a supportive and inspiring environment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
