Outstanding Pencil Project Experience - Prairie Grove Junior High School

As told by Mrs. Bieschke...

Prairie Grove Junior High had an outstanding experience participating in Develop Africa's Pencil Project. The students felt empowered by doing something so simple and having such a huge impact on someone’s life. They were filled with amazement as the number of pencil donations doubled everyday.

We collected over 2,700 pencils. It was very exciting to see our entire school come together and achieve a unified goal. Our students are walking away from this experience with the belief that they can make a difference!
