The Art Room Needs Some Love!

Help me give my students better access to art supplies that supports their self-expression & creativity!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Audrey's classroom raised $400

This project is fully funded

My Project

In the art room at RBA, we have an incredible group of diverse learners. All of which have a preference for different styles of art making! Students have access to a wide variety of activities to choose from during down time and free choice days. Some of these activities are so popular that we are constantly running out of supplies and I often have to purchase these materials with my own funds. Donating to this project would help an art teacher who doesn't have access to purchasing last minute supplies through her school. This will give my students more access to self-expression and experiencing joy throughout the school day!

Ms. Audrey Ruth Baston Academy Grades 9-12
