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

This is one of a few projects where we are requesting electric pencil sharpeners for every classroom in our school.

An electric pencil sharpener is a reliable ally in every classroom to sharpen pencils quickly and efficiently.

Electric pencil sharpeners will save valuable instructional time because scholars will be able to access sharp pencils without disrupting the flow of lessons.

These sharpeners have safety features installed to ensure that scholars can safely operate them to sharpen their pencils independently. In addition, these sharpeners have an indicator light and automatic shutoff to prevent over-sharpening.
