My Project
My students are hard-working and diligent students but they can, at times, have difficulties keeping track of school supplies. Pencils are often shoved in pockets and broken, or fall out of open backpacks and get lost. In an interest of being more environmentally friendly, I would like to provide each student with his or her own pencil case and a set of reusable mechanical pencils to minimize this waste.
Mechanical pencils are a reusable resource which can be refilled as needed, and pencil cases are durable and can be used for years.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
