My Project
In order to create an environment where students can actively engage in hands-on, experiential learning, our classroom needs essential supplies, particularly pencils. These pencils will not just serve as writing tools but as instruments of creativity, expression, and exploration. Whether it's sketching ideas for a science project, completing a math puzzle, or drafting a story, pencils are a fundamental part of our learning process. By providing each student with high-quality pencils, we will ensure they have the tools needed to bring their ideas to life and fully participate in all hands-on activities.
Pencils are essential for students to express themselves, whether it’s through sketching, brainstorming, or drafting ideas for projects.
Pencils are needed for hands-on tasks such as mapping out scientific experiments, writing reflections, and participating in art-based projects that integrate different subjects. Students often need pencils for note-taking, problem-solving, and completing activities in interactive, project-based learning settings. With enough pencils, every student will be equipped to engage fully in these experiences. Having high-quality, reliable pencils allows students to focus on the learning process without distraction, ensuring they can complete tasks with ease, from writing to sketching to solving problems. These will be particularly useful for our Lunar New Year celebration.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
