Funded Aug 22, 2014My students love the high quality pencils and the 2 new wonderful pencil sharpeners. The students are so excited when we received them. They knew this would improve their lives but they underestimated how much it would. They told their friends and families for weeks about the new sharpeners.
They are sharpening their pencils every morning and what used to be a long line is now a short line that takes only a few moments. Students were going and buying their own sharpeners to use in their desks because they didn't want to wait in the line with the old sharpeners. It may sound like some Eastern European country but to them it was.
The students are much more eager to write and they write so much more. What seemed like a punishment because they never were able to get their pencil sharp enough and when they did it would break, is now a heavenly experience. The sharpeners are so quiet that the students can sharpen their pencils anytime and not distract from learning.
Thank you so much for your time and donation that made this possible.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Phillips
