My Project

My students need a new supply of pencils. They use pencils to write with every day in class. I bought pencils at the beginning of the school year with my own money, but my supply is running low. Our school is currently out of pencils so we can’t request more at this time. Please help my students keep up with the written assignments that they enjoy so much by donating a new supply of pencils. Your generosity and kindness are always appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

Ms. Jonte
