My Project

Please help to give my students a new electric pencil sharpener. Teachers and students use them daily in order to have a good writing tool to work with. Students are able to write so much better when they have a sharp point on their pencil, and they enjoy working with a sharp pencil better as well.

A good pencil sharpener is a must in every classroom.

Over the years, I have bought so many different types of pencil sharpeners hoping to find one that would stand the test of time. I have not found that gem yet! Because of their constant use, pencil sharpeners do not usually last throughout the entire school year.
