Classroom Sharpie Set

Help me give my students sharpies to finalize their projects. Sharpies are very useful in the art room and are definitely a specialty item. I would like to be able to have a classroom set of Sharpies!

My Students

School has been in session for over two weeks now, and so far, I have a large number of students in my classes. This is so great to have to know that the arts are appreciated and many students are taking art classes. This quarter we have two different classes, Art Basics and Advanced art. In my Art Basics class I have seen many talented artists, which was a pleasant surprise!

Once again, I have many talented, enthusiastic, and hardworking students in my art classes!

I am so grateful that I have such a large number of students who appreciate the arts. Furthermore, these students are constantly bringing their best efforts to class!

My Project

This seems like a small request but being able to offer every student with the best materials is a goal of mine. Sharpies are used pretty regularly in the art room, and having enough sharpies for a classroom set does add up pretty quickly, which is why I am asking for your help! Requesting for Sharpies seems like a small request but they are a great tool to have, because they are the perfect tool to help define lines, "sharpen" artwork, and create pen and ink drawings. I would like to have a classroom set of sharpies for the students who cannot afford to have their own sharpie.
