The Art Room Needs Some Love!

Help me give my students easels, games and other items for a welcoming, safe, engaging, and joyful art classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Audrey's classroom raised $401

This project is fully funded

My Project

We have an amazing group of students coming from a variety of different backgrounds, cultures, and abilities. Unfortunately, we are in a district where funding for materials is limited and difficult to attain, which leads to me buying supplies with my own money.

I strive to create a classroom environment where everyone is welcome, everyone can find something that they enjoy, and have a safe space to unwind, explore creative possibilities, and add some joy to their school day.

The games, art materials, activities, and cleaning supplies, will help me achieve that goal!

Ms. Audrey Ruth Baston Academy Grades 9-12
