My Project

I work with emotionally impaired students. My students love to express themselves through art. Sharpies are their favorite tool to use in their art projects.

Sharpie markers are so colorful and brilliant, it is the only thing my kids want to draw with.

Sharpies are more fun! Please help us increase our Sharpie marker collection with these brilliant, beautiful colors! My students use the chart paper to make posters for the hallway and other markers don’t shine through the way that the Sharpies do, the kids will use these to color draw, and express themselves in so many ways! Thank you in advance.

Grades 3-5
