FMS, let's rally behind our teachers and show them our support! Today, we want to shine a spotlight on some amazing teachers who are raising funds for their classrooms through the Donors Choose platform. One remarkable teacher we'd like to mention is Ms. Wayne at Animas Elementary. Last year, she successfully raised $10,000 for art supplies, and she's working hard to achieve the same this year. We've witnessed the positive impact of her efforts, culminating in the fantastic Animas Art Show that took place last Friday (check out the photos!). We encourage you to consider supporting these dedicated teachers and their classroom projects. 👉 https://www.donorschoose.org/project/restocking-basic-art-supplies/7188707. 👉 https://www.donorschoose.org/project/great-seats-for-great-students/7108371. 👉 https://www.donorschoose.org/project/exploring-art-jobs-become-a-fashion-des/7208680.
