Pencils Save the Day

Help me give my students pencils so they can get their work done and stickers to motivate and reward them.

My Project

I swear my 9th grade students EAT pencils and my supply has come and gone. I do not have the extra funds to keep feeding them a steady diet of pencils. Please help me help them. I do not want them to have any excuses for not getting their work done. I walk around with pencils on me at all times but I swear I never get them back. My students are high energy, bright, creative young people. They push me to be the best teacher I can be but it starts with the basics, a pencil for example.

Grades 9-12
