My Project

When it comes to pencils in middle schools they are a rare find....somehow students lose them all the time! But they do love earning their school currency and buying the fancy mechanical pencils!

Fancy mechanical pencils seem to go missing less in our schools which is why I use them as a reward!

This year more than ever students are buying them so I want to make sure to continue to offer this rewarding purchase in my classroom. With our help I will replenish and be able to continue all of the pencil buying that is happening!
