Help me give my students markers and highlighters to last all school year long!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Coltrin's classroom raised $177

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

"Ms. Coltrin, do you have a Sharpie?" "Ms. Coltrin, do you have any markers?" "Ms. Coltrin, can I borrow a highlighter?" I hear these questions daily from my students, and while I usually have these on hand, I have to replenish them yearly, as well, they simply dry up or run out of ink.

Great highlighters help students focus on specific passages, and markers make their projects and presentations pop.

Please help me keep markers and highlighters in stock so that students will always be able to share their ideas with others.

Thank you for your consideration of this project!
