Teachers Need Help, We Need You!
Did you know that K-12 teachers spend $600 a year of their own money on classroom supplies, with nearly 20 percent of teachers spending more than $1,000 annually?? These statistics are staggering and we are hoping that through our new and exciting partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org this Back-to-School season, that we will be able to continue making a difference.
AdoptAClassroom.org provides funding for K-12 teachers so that they can purchase the classroom materials they need for their students to learn and succeed. Thanks to the organization, more than 4 Million students in all 50 states have already been impacted by their amazing work. Check out how they have made a difference for these grateful teachers and their students.
“Receiving the supplies we need this year would mean our classroom will be a safe, clean, colorful and productive environment where they have the tools they need to be their best selves and do their best work.”
-Jessica Liguez, Teacher, Miami, FL
“If my students received the supplies they need, it would mean that I would be able to concentrate on teaching instead of worrying about whether or not I have the supplies to carry out meaningful, and engaging lessons.”
- Jana Cole, Teacher, Pasadena, CA
“Feeling like I don’t have enough time or resources to do everything that I want to do is probably the hardest part about teaching. More resources mean more opportunity for my students.”
- Becca Hanson, Teacher, Minneapolis, MN
“Once we reached our goal, we started ordering, and then the materials started showing up in the mail. I told them that ‘this is our community supporting us.’”
- Lance Madzey, Teacher, Casper, WY
