My Project

Our students would benefit from a project that brings them together with their families, school community, local businesses, and community leaders to facilitate a hands-on project promoting kindness. We will create multicultural artwork that shows ourselves using yarn, fabric, and craft materials like weaving paper and ribbon.

And kids love to make art about themselves in art class!

We're making masterpieces at our school to help promote a kinder, more accepting, and more inclusive environment for all our lifelong little learners. My students need the arts and crafts materials like yarn, fabric, and weaving paper and ribbon. These will be used for face-to-face learning. All my students need these materials to be better engaged, and to create these multicultural pieces of artwork.
