It's Electric!

Help me give my students power strip surge protectors and electric pencil sharpeners.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. C. Thomas's classroom raised $205

My Project

My kindergarten students are full of energy! They need sharpened pencils and charged devices to complete academic tasks. We use pencils to practice handwriting and composition skills. We also use iPads to complete Reading and Math activities.

This project will fund two heavy-duty, wide-spaced surge protectors and two hands-free, automatic pencil sharpeners.

The power strips will accommodate our classroom's bulky charging needs from one, central location. The electric sharpeners will help us expedite pencil maintenance safely and get to the point of writing time! Your donation will be so powerful!
