My Project

My class needs a good pencil sharpener that can handle the more than 70 sharpenings per day.

Pencils and pens are also scarce as most students do not have the necessary classroom supplies.

We write a lot of essays in our Social studies class and pencils and pens seems to be scarce towards the end of the week.

We need more pencils to write our hearts and minds away.

In the process of sharpening and writing, we use a lot of hand sanitizer and wipes to keep everything clean.

Kindly help us enjoy our writing.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
