My Project

As the instructional coach for a fourth-grade science class, I am writing to request your support for our class. We are in need of an electric pencil sharpener to replace our old-fashioned hand sharpener. This will help us save class time and ensure that students have all the tools they need to be successful.

We kindly ask for your generous donation of an electric pencil sharpener.

It would be greatly appreciated if we could receive two, so that we can use our class time wisely and efficiently. With your support, we can continue to learn and grow in the classroom.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for your support of our education.
