We know teachers are going the extra mile and willingly paying out of pocket for classroom materials. Let’s give them a hand by donating much-needed school supplies.
Families work hard to be able to send their children back to school ready to learn. Many times sending children back to school taps family budgets and they are unable to provide additional classroom supplies. The schools we work with have tremendous need for these types of supply kits and will go a long way in supporting student success!
Public school teachers spend an average of $500 out of pocket on their students. According to a 2014 study by the National School Supply and Equipment Association (NSSEA), 92 percent of teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies, while 85 percent buy instructional materials for their students. We know teachers are already going the extra mile and willingly pay out of pocket for classroom materials and supplies.
Let’s give them a hand!
