Did you know teachers (on average across the U.S.) spend about $750* a year of their own money on classroom supplies? One of our goals has been to provide needed supplies. Thanks to Altar’d State at the St. Johns Town Center, we were able to establish a supply refurbishment system.
Colorful supply bins filled with supplies are now in each kindergarten classroom. This new system will:
- cut down on classroom interruptions by allowing teachers to direct students to needed supplies,
- dress up the classroom, and
- make it possible for volunteers to refurbish needed supplies in each classroom.
The installation is timely as the second half of the school year has the most supply shortages. To donate, see the supplies needed here.
