The Classroom in a Bag® Pencil Campaign is an online fundraising initiative created to support classrooms by providing one of the most-used school supplies — pencils.
This campaign gives individuals, businesses, and community partners a simple way to support teachers and students by helping provide essential classroom materials.
Pencils are one of the most frequently used supplies in classrooms, yet many teachers still purchase them out of pocket.
When classrooms have the basic tools students need, teachers can focus on instruction instead of filling supply gaps.
Through this campaign, Classroom in a Bag® helps keep classrooms stocked with pencils while supporting ongoing teacher retention initiatives.
Goal: 200,000 pencils per year
Supports approximately 400 classrooms
Because teachers should not have to buy the basics themselves. Every pencil placed in a classroom removes one more barrier to learning.
