Help me give my students an electric pencil sharpener to keep their tools ready for writing and creativity. This will reduce frustration, save time, and ensure smooth learning. Help us keep our classroom sharp!

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
In our kindergarten classroom, pencils are the gateway to creativity, learning, and growth. From drawing pictures to learning to write letters, sharpened pencils are a daily essential for my students. Unfortunately, our old electric sharpener has broken, leaving us with no reliable way to keep our pencils ready for action.
Right now, sharpening pencils is a slow, inefficient process that takes valuable time away from learning.
A new electric sharpener would make a huge difference, helping us stay focused on learning instead of dealing with dull or broken pencils.
By supporting our project, you'll help create a more seamless and productive classroom environment where students can thrive. Every pencil sharpened brings us closer to new skills, confidence, and creativity. Thank you for helping us keep our class sharp and ready for success!
What We Need:
1 heavy-duty electric pencil sharpener to replace our broken one.
Why It Matters:
This small tool will save time, reduce frustration, and ensure my students have the resources they need to explore, create, and learn every day. Thank you for considering our project!
