My Project

No doubt, the end of the year is hard! Students, teachers, and classroom supplies are hanging by a thread. Every day, even in middle school, countless students are asking to borrow a pencil or leave class to visit the nurse for a bandaid.

With state testing and the last of grades looming over our heads, every minute of classtime is valuable.

Pre-sharpened pencils and an enormous supply of bandaids will helpl keep students in their classes and learning. The more time students spend in class, the better their performance on their tests.
