It’s STILL Elementary -  that Duval County students need art supplies 
COVID 19 has really impacted Jacksonville students, particularly the arts programs. The Art Center cooperative has contacted a number of schools again this year to see if they still needed help with art supplies. We immediately heard back from a number of art teachers, desperate for art supplies for the new school year. The delta strain of the virus continues to impacted them in a number of ways:
  1. Kids aren’t allowed to share art supplies anymore. Classroom supplies were built on the concept of sharing and there are not enough materials to go around.
  2. The school supply list sent out included a lot of virus protection materials, but limited art supplies. Costs for the new supplies puts a burden on families already financially impacted by the pandemic. 
  3.  Teachers have found that outdoor art projects are a great way to keep the kids occupied and provide a creative outlet.
The 28 members of The Art Center felt there was something we could do. We are collecting donations and materials just like last year.   A typical student needs a minimum of $20 in art supplies.   Let's beat the Delta and Deliver to Duval!

Funding Target: $1500
