“Adopt-a-Pencil-Box” Campaign: a Sustainable Solution for Classroom Supply Management

Help me give my students their own private pencil box to be responsible for keeping their pencils, pens, erasers, crayons, pencil sharpeners, etc. for class use only. All boxes will be recycled for future students' use.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Summers's classroom raised $319

My Project

The “Adopt-a-Pencil-Box” Campaign is a sustainable solution for classroom supply management that involves individual students adopting their own classroom use pencil box for the school year.

I love my students for their enthusiasm, curiosity, and dedication to learning.

Each of them brings a unique perspective and energy to the classroom, making teaching a rewarding experience. As an educator, I am constantly inspired by their creativity and resilience in the face of challenges.

The pencil boxes donation will provide my students with essential tools for their learning journey. Always having access to a pencil, pen, eraser, sharpener, colored pencils, and crayons as well as scissors for class projects will ensure that they can fully engage in their lessons without any interruptions due to missing or broken supplies. This will help them stay organized, focused, and prepared for their daily tasks, ultimately enhancing their learning experience.

The pencil boxes donation project aims to provide each student with essential tools that will enhance their learning experience. By equipping them with quality pencils, erasers, sharpeners, and other stationery items, we are ensuring that they have the necessary resources to engage actively in their studies.

The primary goal of the pencil box donation project is to promote equity in education by ensuring that all students have access to the same fundamental resources. By eliminating barriers related to the lack of basic supplies, we aim to create a level playing field where every student can thrive academically.

My students are special because of their diversity, resilience, and eagerness to learn. They come from various backgrounds and bring a wealth of experiences into the classroom, enriching our discussions and fostering mutual understanding.
