Would you rather spend a summer day driving from store to store to purchase school supplies or get everything you need in one easy box? Great news! We are offering a supply kit program at our school this year. Kits include the exact colors, quantities, and brands your teachers have approved for class. Get your back-to-school shopping out of the way early and enjoy an extra summer day!
Wondering what kinds of things your donation would help to pay for? Today we highlight more projects from our inaugural Enrichment Grant Program that was rolled out last semester.
With your support, we were able to allocate over $8,000 in classroom materials based on direct teacher requests. We granted over 14 requests across Pre-K-5th grades, including Special Education, bolstering educational goals for over 34 teachers, reaching over 790 students.
Each Kindergarten teacher was provided with a license to Raz-Kids, an online subscription-based literacy service to help support early readers and individual learning styles. Each and every 3rd and 5th grade student was provided an individual subscription to Scholastic Storyworks, a digital and print magazine designed to teach English Language Art strategies and concepts.
These digital resources are valuable supplements to our curriculum and something we hope to be able to help fund going forward. But you guessed it- we need your help! Each and every dollar makes a difference and gets us closer to our goal of $8,000!
Wondering what kinds of things your donation would help to pay for? Today we shine a spotlight on Teacher Supply Reimbursement!
It’s no secret that our teachers work hard to meet the educational needs of their students. But they also go above and beyond to make sure students have the right environment and materials they need to succeed, oftentimes spending hundreds of their own dollars to do so. From organizational items like cubbies and baskets, to furniture like seating and shelves; from books for their classroom libraries to additional school supplies, teachers often bear the financial burden of purchasing these supplies to support their students.
A recent survey showed that on average Texas teachers spend more than $700 a year out of pocket on supplies and items for their classrooms! As a PTA we try to ease this burden on our teachers and offer a supply reimbursement to help with these costs. This year our budget allowed for us to give each teacher a $75 reimbursement but we know that’s only a fraction of what they spend. With your help we can increase the amount of the supply reimbursement available to teachers but we’re relying on your generosity to make that happen!
