My Project

Please help our classroom with supplies! We are always sharpening pencils and consequently these pencil sharpeners break. My students are constantly in need of sharp pencils so they can make their work neat. Our two sharpeners we had this year have broken and have not been replaced. For this reason, I am having to use other teacher's sharpeners or send them down the hall to sharpen a pencil.

With this donation it will help my students utilize their time to the best of their ability by not running down the hall to another teacher's classroom to get sharp pencils.

Thank you for your support.

Mr. Brown
Grades 3-5
