Pencils, Please!

Help me give my students something new and fresh to write with. Pencils, please!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fellows's classroom raised $176

This project is fully funded

My Project

The school I teach at is a Title I funded school and the majority of our families are considered low income. The pencils, pencol sharpeners, erasers and other supplies will take the burden of purchasing new supplies off of the families and make it so all students have the same supplies to use each day. These pencil materials will help my students be successful at completing tasks and learning at school. Please help give my students something to write with! Pencils, please!

Students use pencils at school non-stop and we need more pencils for the end of the school year.

We will be working in our outdoor classroom.

Students often lose pencils or finish them with all the writing we do at school.

I as a teacher always provide a tub full of pencils so students can feel comfortable getting a pencil anytime in case they forget, lose, or finish their own. Please help give my students this very essential school supply.
