My Project

Hi everyone! Happy New Year!

I currently teach in a 3rd grade ICT classroom and we are running very low on pencils.

The children need pencils for all subject areas and can not be successful without them. We are asking for two large boxes of pre-sharpened pencils. In addition; we are kindly asking for an industrial strength pencil sharpener for the children to use. Pencils are one of the basic needs the children in our classroom need to be successful and we would appreciate getting these items in our classroom. Thank you so much.

Mrs. Gold PS 45 John Tyler Grades 3-5
