Help me give my students access to high quality sharpened pencils all school year!

My Project

First graders tend to go through pencils at a rapid pace. The normal wear and tear of using them all day, every day tends to leave the pencils needing to be replaced. I want my students to always have access to high quality, sharpened pencils that they will use during nearly every lesson.

The sharpener will help prolong each pencils use, as we all know there is nothing worse than sharpening your pencil ten times, yet the pencil continues to come out unsharpened.

Additionally, the birthday pencils will be a special treat for students who have their birthday during the school year! Nothing is better than walking into school on your birthday than seeing a fresh, sharp, happy birthday pencil begging to be used!
