Scissors and Staplers Are Not Long-Term Friends With Students

Help me give my students scissors and staplers to use in my classroom since both are not "long-term" friends with students and we always seem to be without their help!

My Project

Scissors and staplers do not last long, break easily, and are in constant demand in our middle and high school classrooms. With over 140 students daily, the demand to keep the basic supplies, like the staplers and scissors, is high. The need for a long-reach stapler is also high because of the books and journals that need to be stapled on a frequent basis.

Scissors and staplers get an excessive amount of use in my classroom on a daily basis; therefore, replacing the basic office equipment is needed frequently.

Your support of our classroom will be greatly appreciated by our English, Math, and Academic Enrichment students!
