Basic Art Supplies

Help me give my students classpacks of colored pencils, markers and highlighters to start the year off right.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patton's classroom raised $266

My Project

Markers, highlighters, and colored pencils galore!

Our students love to express themselves through art.

I often use word searches as 'bell ringers' to help our middle school students settle into the classroom. Highlighters in different colors will help make these assignments more fun for the kids. Choosing what color highlighter to complete a word search will be a fun, simple, and appreciated way to offer student choice in the classroom.

Students of all grade levels will benefit from having a good supply of colored pencils and markers in the classroom. Thanks again for your help.
