What’s an Art Room Without Water? Help Us Fix That!

Help me give my students access to water and clean hands in the art room with a portable water station!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Panaro's classroom raised $395

My Project

My young artists love to paint, but this becomes challenging without water in the art room.

I plan to create a portable water station that would allow us to easily fill water bowls and rinse brushes in our art room.

When water runs low, the rolling cart will enable us to refill our water jugs in the hallway sink. A dump bucket will be kept on the cart to easily discard dirty paint water.

Baby wipes will be available on the cart so the children can easily clean their hands at the end of art class!
