Help me give my students fancy pens to practice cursive writing and hand lettering to both enjoy the satisfaction of learning script as well as enjoying hand writing as an art method, but also as a meditative practice

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 eager, enthusiastic young artists. They come into the art studio willing to learn, take risks, and explore their creative potential. Through our time together, I have had the opportunity to know them as individuals. Many have come up through hardships in their childhood that are more than anyone should experience in a lifetime - yet, they persevere. A large portion of my school's demographic receives free lunch and other services. When they enter the art room, they find a space that is welcoming and supportive. We use many of our projects to reinforce learning through their academic courses and to support STEAM in our school. My students want to be positive members of society, want to participate in problem-solving, and want to find success in their academic endeavors. My students' eagerness for learning surpasses expectations. I take honor in my role as their art teacher. I hope to inspire, motivate, and open their ideas to creative endeavors.
My Project
For this proposal, I am requesting fancy pens so my art students can learn and practice cursive writing and relish in the satisfaction of hand lettering. Kiddos spend so many hours on technology, especially after the past year, and I would love to have them enjoy the visceral pleasure of fancy ink on paper. The art room has resources of hand lettering, fonts, and positive affirmations. Funding of this project will not only benefit my students in the art journey, but can become a strategy for relaxation and mediation. These materials will be well taking care of and will be able to be used often.
