Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I have an amazing group of students, but wow, do we go through some pencils. We need 2 pencil sharpeners to keep us going. They are constantly breaking and we have to stop working to sharpen them. Please help us with these items to keep our class running smoothly.

We write every day and this is a constant distraction.

We currently do not have a working pencil sharpener in our classroom.

Pencils break on a daily basis. Having two sharpeners could help with keeping us prepared and ready to write.

I also request a small sharpener they can keep at their tables and do not need to get up from their seats.

Also, help us get nice Ticonderoga pencils to keep us writing.

We are eager to hear the sweet buzzing of our sharpener working hard until our pencil points are sharp!

Thank you for your support!
