My Project

Pencils are always needed in the classroom. The number one time killer in the classroom is either looking for a pencil or sharpening a pencil.

Ticonderoga are quality pencils that would be super helpful for my kiddos to have.

I serve over 100 kids and oftentimes they come to science class without a pencil or borrow a pencil and never return it. Having these pencils, a sharpener and markers would help me kill wasted time and help those kiddos who need this supply to be prepared. They are also high quality pencils and erasers that last longer!
