My Project

The pencil's name originates in the graphite ore discovered on Lead Hill in 1815 and processed in Ticonderoga, New York.

Please send Ticonderoga wood-cased pencils pre-sharpened.

Help my classroom have a supply of the most reliable pencils all year long!

My new freshman and all our students at Casimir Pulaski HS need pencils throughout the school year. Having a good supply will also help supply pencils to the many kids who come to our school in the middle of the school year. Believe it or not, giving a new student a fresh pencil is a small step to making them feel welcome at their new school.
