Help me give my students pencils and a pencil sharpener.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Parks's classroom raised $195
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
My students are an enthusiastic, imaginative group of fifth graders. They are living in an inner-city community. Many are living in shelters. Some are English Language Learners and others have an Individualized Educational Plan. There are many students who have repeated a grade. Most face challenges both inside and outside of school on a daily basis. Despite these challenges, they love learning. They work hard every day in school and at home. They work with classmates to problem solve. They have goals and are working hard to achieve them.
My Project
These pencils will allow my students to have the materials they need to be successful. We write daily in all subjects and our supply has dwindled to almost nothing. It is important that my students can have these pencils readily available to them. A pencil sharpener is used daily an gets a good work out. It is important to have a heavy duty one that can last throughout the year.
Students should not have to worry about having a pencil.
We have state tests coming up and the addition of motivational pencils does make a big difference in their outlook.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
