Fixing more than pencil sharpeners—learning to help and support one another! 1st grade is so thankful for Garrett and his repair technician skills! His talent was able to be applied and fix our pencil sharpener... Garrett would often need to borrow tools to work on his projects, but 1st grade purchased him his own set to utilize. We know exactly who to call next time! Thank you again, from 1st Grade!
