With many of MNPS’ students coming from economically disadvantaged households, the DG PENCIL Box is the community’s collective effort to ensure no student is hindered by lack of supplies. Having the proper supplies in the classroom can help decrease absenteeism, improve classroom learning, and more.

We are joining this effort by hosting a supply drive for PENCIL and its DG PENCIL Box, and we would like to invite you to be part of it with us. Please consider donating to our supply drive – you can make a monetary investment here or drop-off new school supplies.
