The Calligraphy Pen is Mightier than the Sword!

Help me give my students calligraphy pens and cards to start a Calligraphy Club!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hatcher's classroom raised $312

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

At our campus, we seek to offer extensive new learning opportunities through clubs and student activities. We have never had a calligraphy club on campus, and exploring this art form will be very rewarding for our students!

This project will allow student to explore their creative side while diving into an ancient art form.

Some students might even discover a new job opportunity, given the popularity of hiring professional calligraphers for wedding invitations! This project is designed to equip our new club with the tools necessary to learn and practice the art of calligraphy, including and instructional book, pens, paper and cards.

Whether it's for fun or for commerce, this project will be sure to equip my students with the tools necessary for success!
