My Project

Kids love color! I've found Twistables to be the most valuable resource in the classroom! They don't break or need to be sharpened, so the creativity never has to wait! The color selection is unique and vibrant. My students love to use these to bring their projects to life. This specialty item is most appreciated by us all!

A good pencil sharpener is like the engine of a classroom!

We exclusively use pencils in elementary grades because real learning takes tries! We need the sharpener humming to keep the class running!

Budgetary constraints limit the amount of paper each teacher receives for their classroom. Copy paper is actually essential to providing necessary learning material to students throughout the year. Your generous donation of paper is very much appreciated!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
