Help Keep Our Classroom Supplies Sharp and Ready!

Help me give my students tools to help them independently maintain their materials.

My Project

My students work hard every day, and having the right tools makes all the difference! Our class is in need of an automatic pencil sharpener, a pencil dispenser, a crayon sharpener, and an automatic stapler to keep our classroom running smoothly. These items will help students stay focused on learning rather than wasting time struggling with dull pencils, broken crayons, or jammed staplers.

With these supplies, students can quickly sharpen their pencils and crayons, access fresh supplies with ease, and staple their work independently—fostering responsibility and efficiency.

Your support will ensure our classroom stays organized and that students can focus on what truly matters: their education. Thank you for helping create a productive and well-equipped learning environment!
