My Project

I'm looking for any community help in funding this awesome new project for my middle school kiddos. We have recently fallen in love with AFMAT electric sharpeners and we are excited receive your help! Students are often complaining about sharpening their pencils by hand and not getting the results they want. The AFMAT pencil sharpener is unlike any sharpener we have had in the art room. Each student loves to use them and it is hands free - this means that the sharpener tells you when its done being sharpened. Because we use color pencils often in the art room - I would love to have a sharpener per table. This means less time getting up out of seats to sharpen, and more time focused on work. We would love any help you are willing to give.
