The Power of a Pencil

Help me give my students pencil boxes filled with all the supplies they will need every day!

My Project

My students are the best second graders in the world! They are hard workers and smart thinkers. Even still, in second grade, students lose their supplies all the time. Many students do not come prepared with a pouch or pencil box to keep their supplies in. I believe I hear the words "I lost my pencil" about 20 times a day!

Being able to walk into class with all the needed supplies already there for you sets a wonderful tone for the day!

Having a pencil may seem simple, but there really is power in having everything you need already in your desk.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
