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

My Kinder students are in need of a new heavy duty pencil sharpener and a crayon sharpener. Our old one just broke due to daily constant use. I have many students and I have to hand sharpen their jumbo pencils because we write EVERYDAY! It would be nice to have a pencil sharpener for different size pencils and a crayon sharpener.

My students need these two sharpeners as they write and color every single day.

Having two reliable electric sharpeners (one for different size pencils and one for crayons) would help us to be able to finish the year. It is amazing how easily the ones our school provides break so quickly. This electric pencil sharpener is heavy duty and would last a long time.
