Every Student Deserves Supplies

Help me give my students the necessities to complete projects. They need heavy duty sharpeners that will not break. Crayon and pencil boxes will ensure students are able to keep track of their own supplies.

My Project

The third graders in our class are energetic, collaborative, and kind! This is the first year these amazing kids get to be "upper graders". And with that title, comes great responsibility. These tools will allow students to acquire and maintain their supplies throughout the school year. On a daily basis students will utilize color pencils, pencils, and crayons to complete their assignments.

All students deserve basic supplies for learning, as well as the tools to organize their supplies.

Year after year students struggle with the responsibility of keeping their school supplies organized instead of lost or broken. These tools will allow us to teach them how to be responsible for their own school supplies.

With your help, every day students will be able to grab their own pencil box, filled with sharpened pencils and vibrant color pencils. In their desk they will have their own crayon box that prevents their crayons from becoming broken, crushed, and lost.
