Project Teacher

Even the coolest pencil likes to stay cool. 😎✏️

Thanks to everyone who shared the Kids In Need Foundation campaign earlier this year. Because of your reposts (and the generosity of Ticonderoga) nearly 40,000 Dixon Ticonderoga pencils are headed to classrooms across Kansas.

Not bad for a few social media shares. Thank you for helping us put more tools into the hands of teachers and students.

We know the school year isn’t even over yet…but we’re already gearing up for something BIG!

Project Teacher is preparing for Ready, Set, Supply! Drive, largest school supply drive in the state of Kansas, and we’re inviting our community to help us make an even greater impact this year.

From workplace supply drives to financial sponsorships to volunteer opportunities, there are so many ways for businesses, organizations, churches, and community groups to get involved and support local classrooms.

Because when teachers and students start the year equipped, entire communities benefit.

If your business, organization, or group would like to participate, we would love to connect and help you find the best way to partner with us!

Send us a message or email us at [email protected] to learn more. Or go to projectteacher.org for more information!

To every educator who opened their classroom door again this week and kept showing up for kids…thank you!!

As Teacher Appreciation Week comes to a close, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity to celebrate the people who keep our schools moving forward every single day.

Through distributions, giveaways, events, and partnerships this week, Project Teacher was able to distribute more than $350,000 in supplies to nearly 1,000 educators across our city and state. That means thousands of students will walk into classrooms better equipped to learn, create, and thrive.

But more than the numbers, this week was a reminder of something we already knew: teachers continue to carry so much with incredible compassion, creativity, and resilience. Supporting educators isn’t just something we celebrate one week a year…it’s work worth investing in year-round.

Thank you to every volunteer, donor, partner, and supporter who helped make this week possible. And to every educator: we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re cheering you on long after this week ends.
