We got a new FANCY pencil sharpener that the students are in charge of

I don't know about you, but I will only use a pencil if it's super sharp.  Like, can poke-a-hole in something sharp!  Dull pencils kinda weird me out.  Just last week, I asked the librarian to borrow a pen and she handed me a dull pencil.  She didn't understand why I no longer needed a writing utensil.  Same thing is true for my 2nd graders.  Maybe I'm wearing off on them {only time will tell}?  But I secretly hope I am because no one has time for dull pencils.  
I first found out about the Classroom Friendly Supplies Pencil Sharpener last summer when I discovered that they had one in the most perfect shade of hot pink!  It was love at first sight!  When I found out they specially made one in purple, I knew I needed another!  It's just so bright and cheery and will make any of my little teacher's helpers just want to sharpen our class pencils.
Before I discovered the Classroom Friendly Supplies pencil sharpeners, our electric sharpener was reserved for the most responsible of scholars to use.  Those things are spendy and I couldn't risk a student breaking another one.  I'm living off of a teacher's salary for crying out loud!

This little sharpener is sturdy and durable and has made it out alive as a few of my kiddos dropped it on the ground.  The best part about this sharpener is that my students can use it to get the sharpest point.  I mean seriously, look how sharp that is {on a cheap pencil too}.  I also love that it sharpens all of those fancy pencils you buy for your students as rewards that have the glittery, sparkly wrapping on the outside that gets stuck in your other sharpener.  I know you know exactly what I'm talking about.  I gave up on buying those decorative pencils  until I discovered this awesome must-have.
A few other perks:
-It's easy to empty and clean out!
-You can choose to mount it on your counter or not, but all parts are provided
-Did I mention that the pencils get sharp, like really, really sharp?
-There are a ton of bright colors for you to choose from
-Free shipping, woo hoo!

What color would you choose?
