My Students

How can one write without a pencil? Answer: it's difficult. My students need pencils, a stapler that works, and a safe paper cutter that they can use without risk of injury.

My students like to write but struggle without the basic supplies at times.

We don't have much time for the creative writing that they love. The story starter box will really get the creative juices flowing and get them writing. Also, it will help to have a really good stapler that won't jam after each use. These small frustrations can stunt a young writer.

My Project

The pencils and other school supplies will help students spend more time writing and less time looking for supplies. For example, our hole puncher sometimes doesn't punch the third hole. The single puncher will safely eliminate this problem and allow students more time to work.

Please help my students get some basic school supplies like pencils for their daily class work.

Students and the environment will also benefit from having a safe paper cutter. We can use many half and quarter sheets of paper.
