Help me give my students new dry erase markers to use with their dry erase boards which are used when learning new drawing techniques.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stevens's classroom raised $210

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are fun-loving, smart, and hardworking! Our students come from all across the city to participate in the unique ELL (English Language Learner) and ASD program specific for grades 6-8.
My students come from all different backgrounds to create a positive learning environment, where they will be encouraged to brainstorm, collaborate, and create works of art.
It is truly a unique urban setting.
Students at our middle school take an art class for an entire school year as a required elective and specials class and range in different skill levels and abilities.
My Project
It is important to promote the importance of planning, sketching, brainstorming in the art classroom. Almost equally, it is important to cut down on the environmentally devastating (and costly) waste of paper.
Middle school students are known for their indecision, and this is no stranger to the art classroom.
In the past years, my students went through several reams of "scratch" and printer paper (costing hundreds of dollars from the art supply budget), for it only to be thrown into the garbage after the assignment was completed. Once we received our dry erase boards and markers, our waste has been cut down substantially. My students are able to draw and plan out their drawings without wasting paper. Over the past several years, some of our markers have dried up or become damaged and I am looking to replace them.
I want to continue encouraging my students to sketch, and plan out major art assignments, but also cut down on waste. These dry-erase markers will service students in grades 6, 7, and 8 and will be able to be used by my students for years to come.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
