This basket is all about inspiring creativity and getting those little hands messy! We envision a collection of supplies perfect for budding artists, including air-dry clay, sculpting tools, paints, and a book filled with inspiring pottery ideas. This is a fantastic opportunity to support our school while giving someone a truly unique and engaging gift.

You can contribute in two ways:

Donate via Venmo: It's quick and easy! Send your donation to @Kovar-Katie
Item Donations: Purchase specific items and deliver them to our grade level coordinator, Katie Kovar.

All donations, whether monetary or items, need to be received by Friday, February 14th.
