My Project

The classroom pencil sharpener is going on strike. After years of use, it is starting to sharpen unevenly and is not as great as it once was. A new sharpener will be a blessing to our classroom. I would also love some pencils for my students to write with!

These items are essential to the classroom running smoothly.They are super basic items that we always need!

Our pencil sharpener has taken a beating and it is time for a new one. Sharp pencils help my students have their best handwriting. Thank you for considering funding my project. It means a lot to me!
