Markers for Makers!

Help me give my students markers to use every single day in the art classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Severs's classroom raised $659

My Project

My classroom serves the entire school, and with that, I want to give all students an equal opportunity to use all of the materials. Each table has the same amount of materials and the same materials.

Ever since the pandemic, the cost of materials has increased, and every single year since then, my students have run out of markers.

First it starts with blues, then follows reds and yellows, etc. This would help me make sure that my students would not have to end the year using only crayons or brown markers (which are usually the only ones left).
