My Project

Not many people can say they love 8th graders, but I do! I love their humor, their moods, their sarcasm, their insights, their ideas, and their whole being. But I do not love how they can't seem to have a pencil each day for class.

I want to provide a pencil dispenser with a huge supply of pencils for my students.

The pencils I have chosen to supply for them are engraved with motivational sayings so that when they use it they are reminded of my belief in them and their worth.

Even 8th graders love decorative and motivational pencils because they are still kids at heart. My goal is to remind them of their capabilities and goals as often as possible. A student without a pencil is not a battle worth fighting in my opinion, so I want to have a plentiful supply of them to hand to a student in need.
