Pencils, Pencils, Pencils - Please!

Help me give my students the supplies they need to be successful. It may seem like a small thing, but without a sharpened pencil the students can't take notes or complete paper and pencil assignments. Thank you!!!

My Project

Good day. Potential Donors.

I am requesting two electric pencil sharpeners and 2000 pencils.

My students need pencils to be successful in class. I purchsed pencils and an electric pencil sharpener for them at the beginning of the school year, but the sharpener is now broken and the pencils are all gone.

I am not sure what my students do with their pencils, but there are six to twelve students each period who need a pencil and many who need to shapren their pencils.

I really appreciate your consideration of funding my project. Having pencil sharpeners and pencils would allow my students fewer excuses and the ability to use their class time effectively.

Sincerely,

Dr. Falvey
