Appleton, Wisconsin – Dixon Ticonderoga Company will donate two million pencils to Kids In Need Foundation, an American national 501 charity that believes every child in America should have equal opportunity and access to a quality education, as a result of the annual Post for Pencils campaign.

 

The campaign has been executed in partnership with Kids In Need Foundation for the past three years. During the month of June, the Post for Pencils campaign works to educate the public of the need for pencil donations to under-resourced students. Kids In Need Foundation and Ticonderoga partner together to promote the use of the hashtag #postforpencils as a way for people to build awareness of this need. For every use of the hashtag #postforpencils, Ticonderoga will donate one pack of pencils, up to two million total pencils, to Kids In Need Foundation. Celebrities and influencers supported the campaign, raising awareness and contributing to a significant increase in the number of impressions and instances of the hashtag this year.

 

Dixon Ticonderoga is also the sponsor of the Kids In Need Foundation’s National Network of Resource Centers located across the country. The Network provides teachers the opportunity to ‘shop’ for school supplies at ZERO cost to them. From core school supplies to environment-enhancing decor, members of the Network arm teachers with the tools they need to ensure they can focus on the lessons at hand instead of what learning resources are missing in their classrooms.

 

Appleton, Wisconsin – The Dixon Ticonderoga Company brand Fadeless® Paper, the maker of quality fade-resistant bulletin board paper, and Schoolgirl StyleTM, the popular classroom décor brand founded by Melanie Ralbusky, have entered a strategic partnership that will result in the production of stylish bulletin board paper to complement the Schoolgirl Style portfolio of classroom décor.

 

This collaboration brings together the creativity and design of Schoolgirl Style and the manufacturing capabilities and distribution channels of Fadeless Paper. This ensures the foundation bulletin board paper of the Schoolgirl Style collections will be available across the country.

 

“Partnering with Schoolgirl Style empowers the Fadeless Paper brand to offer additional designs and colors that are on trend and are what teachers want in their classroom,” said Erika Thomas, Brand Manager of Fadeless Paper. “We know Melanie’s designs create inspirational learning spaces and we are excited to collaborate and complement her collections with quality Fadeless paper.”

 

Through the co-branding effort, teachers have access to beautiful, affordable papers made in the United States. Drawing on two decades of teaching, Melanie truly understands what teachers need to create environments in which students thrive. These new papers will coordinate beautifully with many popular themes across the marketplace and with the Schoolgirl Style collections.

 

“As someone who purchased Fadeless paper as a teacher, I am incredibly excited to have the opportunity to bring my designs to life with this iconic brand,” said Melanie Ralbusky, Founder and Creative Director of Schoolgirl Style. “It’s a dynamic partnership of design and the highest quality bulletin board paper on the market today.”

 

The first collection of items in the line will be available in 2023.
