A great way to get free supplies for your classroom : Donorschoose.org

I have received three grants already this year by using DonorsChoose.org. The site is for teachers and I would recommend it to anyone who needs supplies for the classroom. I had grants funded for my high school ceramics classes and this year I received about $1,500 worth of art supplies. It is easy to sign up and get started. I think most grants are approved close to the start of the school year. Give it a try and notify your parents if you would like them to help fund a project. I got project funded by Disney, Chevron and Anonymous donors.
