Help Mrs. Bellamy

I teach at Burgaw Elementary School, which is located in the rural city of Burgaw, NC in Pender County. We are a Title One school with over 73% of our students receiving free or reduced lunch. I am currently teaching the first grade. I teach all of the first grade English as a Second Language (ESL) children. I am seeking funding for a class pencil sharpener. We are in great need of a pencil sharpener that will work. I have purchased many in the past and they have all broken. Our school does not provide them for us and it is so hard for our children to write without one. If there is anyone who can help my students by providing funding for this Boston School Pro Pencil Sharpener, we would truly appreciate it. Thank you and have a great day.
