Oh my gosh, thank you so much to C.W. for these pencils and erasers! This lovely person sent me 1000 pencils and 300 erasers for my 6th grade language arts students to use! I can't begin to describe how much of an impact having a ready supply of pencils will make on the fluidity of study in my classroom. We are tackling writing skills a lot more directly this year, so the students will be writing poetry, journal entries, essays, and dramatic pieces using your gift, C.W. I really can't thank you enough. I never thought seeing a box of pencils would make my heart start racing and eyes start watering, but it's great to know this resource will always be available for my students because someone out there invested in their success.

If I just used these for my class, you would have helped 65 kids and 1 teacher, but since I'm sharing these with my colleagues (not everyone I work with knows Reddit exists, it means your generosity will affect the lives of over 400 kids and a dozen staff members. And that's just this year! The sheer volume of your gift ensures that students will be able to express themselves AND erase their mistakes for some time.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
