Pencils With Purpose: Empowering Young Math Minds

Help me give my students pencils, pencil sharpeners, pencil holders, and worksheet paper.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lim's classroom raised $294

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Many of my students come to class without even the most basic supplies. Yet, they show up with energy and a willingness to persevere through hard work. This project will provide them with essential classroom supplies.

These are not just school supplies, they are tools of empowerment.

By removing the stress of not having supplies, this project helps me to create a space where every child feels equipped and encouraged to succeed.

Pencils and sharpeners help keep students prepared and focused without interruption. Pencil holders on students' desks prevent them from losing pencils and help save trees. Worksheet paper allows them to practice problem-solving and show their work.
