The most basic school supply for any student is a pencil. When a student enters the classroom, they should never need to worry about being prepared to successfully learn. Often times, students who may not have the funds available to purchase items for school come to class unprepared, which creates unnecessary stress. My students will utilize the pencils from this project to learn how to become creative story writers and will feel a sense of accomplishment as young authors. It is my hope that each student can use these pencils to write an adventure to share with their peers. I want to make sure every single student that enters my classroom feels welcome, supported, and has access to everything they need to learn. With your donations and generosity, my students will always be prepared and ready to succeed.
