Education opens a world of possibilities. Yet, many schools lack the necessary classroom supplies to prepare students to be successful in their studies. So, teachers often step in to fill in the gaps. That’s what makes the LP PENCIL Box so special. The store enables teachers to focus on instructional time by filling the resource gaps. But they can’t do it alone.
Creating strategic partnerships with companies like Crayons & Marketers helps stock the PENCIL Box with classroom essentials like pencils, crayons, copy paper, notebooks, glue sticks, backpacks, hand sanitizer, and more, making them accessible to teachers for FREE. Teachers simply make an appointment, stop by the retail store, and shop for up to $300 in supplies a quarter.
We are proud to have recently donated 1,500 24-packs of BAZICs Premium Crayons to PENCIL Box. We commemorated this special occasion by volunteering at the store on Thursday, October 28th where we had the pleasure of greeting teachers and helping them find items on the shelves. We even got our hands dirty stocking supplies! Most importantly, we had the opportunity to thank teachers for their tireless efforts in enriching our children’s lives.
Crayons & Marketers is thrilled to be a product sponsor with LP PENCIL Box. Giving Back is one of our core values. We love donating our time and talents to help create the next generation of content creators by partnering with organizations like PENCIL. We believe we are stronger together, and our future is brighter with MNPS students leading the charge – especially with a backpack full of supplies!
