Pencil Box for Spring is Open with Two Options for Shopping
As of today, they have opened Spring shopping at the LP PENCIL Box. Each MNPS teacher and administrator is allowed a shopping experience at the PENCIL Box once a semester.
This spring middle school teachers will have 2 options: Each teacher may only select one option. Each will count as the spring semester shopping experience.
Regular teacher shopping. This will be the same as it has always been with teachers scheduling an appointment to shop. This option will allow teachers to grab the largest selection and largest quantity of supplies. We will operate after school on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from January 10th to February 10th.
Delivery of a Standard Box to our school. Starting the week of January 9th, they will begin delivery of 650 standard boxes of supplies. This will be mostly on a first come, first served basis, but schools farthest away from the PENCIL Box will get some priority. This is a great option for teachers that have never come to shop before as an introduction to the LP PENCIL Box. The standard Box contains the following: 1 backpack, 4 packs paper, 3 spiral notebooks, 15 pocket folders, 3 sets of dividers, 40 pencils, 20 pens, 8 glue sticks, 3 bottles of glue, 6 packs of 24 crayons, 2 packs of colored pencils, 1 pack of markers, 2 highlighters, 10 thin dry erase markers, 2 sharpies, 1 pair of scissors, 4 stick erasers, 1 pack cap erasers, 2 staple removers, 2 pencil boxes, 2 pencil sharpeners, 1 pack of tissues, 2 small hand sanitizers, 2 boxes of paper clips, and 4 rulers. Please note that brands may vary on all items. There are 650 of these standard boxes total available for the spring semester.
