Did you know that we have hygiene products on our shelves? When people think about school supplies, they often picture pencils, notebooks, and crayons. Items like toothpaste, deodorant, soap, tissues, and other hygiene essentials help students feel comfortable, confident, and ready to focus on learning.

By helping teachers stock their classrooms with these everyday essentials, we’re helping create learning environments where every student can feel prepared for the school day.

UNBELIEVABLE! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thank you for helping us stock the shelves for our amazing teachers! ❤️

Things get germy in our classrooms.

5,000 Lysol tubs went out the door to keep our teachers and students healthy this past school year. Lined up end to end, that many Lysol wipe tubs equal:

323 Elephants stacked on top of each other.
3 Eiffel Towers stacked on top of each other.
12 football fields.

However you stack it, Lysol/Clorox/Disinfecting wipes are a vital part of our classrooms' success. Pitch in this summer with a supply drive to help keep everyone healthy for the long run! https

And just like that...it's been two years with our Volunteer and Program Manager, Sarah Gregory! Help us take a moment to offer congratulations to this detail-oriented, auction crushing, gardening aficionado, dog mom, party planning queen! Sarah brings a vast background of event organizing, volunteer support, and work with students of a variety of ages. We're lucky to have her! Thank you, Sarah! Get some rest this weekend!

Last school year, we gave out over 68,000 pocket folders to our teachers!

We did some very official math and discovered that the weight of 68,000 pocket folders is roughly the same as:

-A classic Airstream trailer
-A well equipped Jeep
-38 baby elephants
-13 adult grizzly bears
-510 bowling balls
-3,825 large pizzas

No matter how you measure it* --the need for pocket folders is greater than ever.

Work with your friends, coworkers, family, and community to collect pocket folders by participating in our Pencil Push Summer Supply Drive: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/pencils2026

Whether you donate an elephant's worth or just a few, your support will tip the scales for a brighter future for our students!

(*We are tempted to measure all things in baby elephants from now on)
