Davidson & Associates Insurance, a local independent insurance agency, launched “Policies for Pencils,” in January 2026 and has awarded their first winner, Miss Kanekoa’s Kindergarten class at Orchards Elementary School. This new community initiative is dedicated to supporting local educators and students. The agency holds a monthly drawing to award one local classroom $100 worth of essential school supplies.
As an independent agency deeply rooted in the Clark County area, Davidson Insurance recognizes the significant out-of-pocket expenses teachers often face to keep their classrooms running. “Policies for Pencils” was created to bridge that gap and celebrate the hard work of local educators. Beyond selling insurance that helps protect homes, cars and businesses, we are investing in the students and educators who represent the true future of our community.
Davidson & Associates provided the kindergarten classroom with a myriad of supplies specified in their nomination form, including many different snacks and crafting materials. The supplies were delivered directly to Miss Kanekoa. “We are an energetic class that loves learning,” said Meileah Kanekoa, the Kindergarten teacher of the winning class. “We love having different materials to create with.”
"Insurance protects what you own, but being a good neighbor means protecting what we share: our future," said Bryce Davidson, President of Davidson & Associates. "Schools are the heart of everything we do. Through Policies for Pencils, we are dedicated to supporting our local teachers and reminding our students that they have an entire community rooting for them. It’s about more than just business; it’s about building a stronger foundation for the next generation."
How the Program Works: Each month, community members, including parents, students, and fellow faculty, can nominate a deserving K-12 classroom in Clark County via the agency’s website. On the last Thursday of every month, one winner will be randomly selected to receive a $100 supply bundle.
