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
My second graders use a lot of pencils. We love to write and draw and solve problems! Unfortunately, this requires a lot of writing materials to be around and available for our youngsters!
Having spare pencils for home and school use is so important and necessary for our young learners.
This is a small item that can have a big effect. Thank you for considering helping us with this necessary writing tool. There is nothing like a freshly sharpened pencil with a new eraser! Our second graders will be so happy to know we have pencils for the year.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
