We were hearing too often about how our local educators are spending their own limited salaries on the supplies and tools they need to provide Okeechobee students with the quality education they deserve. The Pencil Depot was subsequently launched to provide each and every teacher in the School District with a $40.00 stipend to use on their most needed supplies, free of charge!
