No Sink, Not enough money...

It's been a few weeks into the new job here at my two teeny tiny rural elementary schools, and so far it has been crazy and exciting all at once!  The kids are great, and they really really want to start some painting...but there is one little problem at one little school.  My classes are ONLY 30 minutes long, and there is NO sink in my classroom!  That really makes for a challenge when it comes to anything like printing, painting, and sculptural artworks.  Are there any suggestions out there that might make this a little easier? 
I am looking into purchasing a portable sink, but they are too costly for my budget.  I only have 780/yr and the cheapest sink I've found runs $1200.  The other thing is my art budget seems to also be the school supply budget for things like printer ink, and copy paper for all the teachers... :-/  
 c'est la vie I suppose...but ANY suggestions on the no sink with only 30 minutes of classtime would be HIGHLY appreciated!  Thanks for stopping by!
