My Project

Our first grade class is in need of a new pencil sharpener. We need a faster more efficient pencil sharpener. First graders use many pencils each day. We need a quicker pencil sharpener so we can quickly sharpen our pencils and get back to learning.

We also need a new organization for our learning centers.

We need a hub for our learning center, a central easy to access place for all of our learning materials.

Our first grade community is always grateful for any support that goes to better our learning time.
