Help me give my students Permanent Sharpie markers so that they can use them to draw in conjunction with painting. Sharpie markers work well with wet mediums such as watercolor paints.

My Students
My students are amazing, they overcome challenges presented to them every day. The disabilities range from autism to Down Syndrome and cerebral palsy. My students are all unique and talented, they each experience in different ways, most of them are visual learners.
All my students enjoy expressing themselves through their artwork.
I teach the entire school, therefore I am always in need of art supplies. Some of my students are non-verbal, art is their only means of expression and communication in several instances.
Every day I get hugs from students asking me what we will be doing in art next. I created an "Art Club" so we can continue to do even more projects, including decorations and set designs for the performing arts productions in our school. The energy and enthusiasm of my students are beyond comprehension.
My Project
The materials I have requested are a useful medium to use with paints. Most regular markers bleed and smudge when they come in contact with water, Sharpie markers are amazing to use with paints. Some of my students need to use the black sharpie to outline their drawing to define the area and paint more neatly and inside the lines. Because of some of their disabilities whether it be visual or physical outlining gives them a clear sense of space and parameter. Sharpies definitely a much needed tool in Art !
