My Project

My students are interested in working and completing assignments, however, they do not have the required materials and/or supplies. They attend classes everyday but they are unable to complete their assignments because they need pencils.

Please help our students remain focused and interested in their learning by supporting our pencil project for math class .

Students are required to use pencils for math class, but with our depleting resources and little support from a few parents, we need your help. Our students care because they ask for a pencil!

Thank you
