In the US the average teacher has to pay, on average, $500 of their own money to buy school supplies for their classrooms without reimbursement. This shouldn't be the case and is one reason why we started The Good Pencil Company. We also believe strongly that business should be a force for good and we do this by making high quality US made pencils and focusing on efforts to make a positive impact on the environment. This auction includes our line of pencils, a special surprise and a hand written thank you card from the team donated to the winner as well as 300 pencils donated to a US school or US organization of the winners choice.
