Our school is a Title I school. The majority of our students live in low-income housing. 100 percent of our students receive free lunch and breakfast. These students come into the classroom every day and despite their bad home life, they want to learn. They are desperate to grow their minds. These students want nothing more than to get an education that will allow them to achieve all of their hopes and dreams. Please consider helping my students and me.
My Project
These pencils will not only make a difference in my students' learning, but they will make a difference in our classroom environment. We need pencils that do not require us to stop our lesson to sharpen pencils. These pencils will help my students to be prepared.
Help me give my students the best pencils out there.
These Ticonderoga pencils are really strong. The lead does not break as easily as other pencils. With these pencils, I am able to get through an entire lesson without stopping to sharpen a pencil.
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
