Clearing out your classrooms/closets this holiday season and have brand new or gently used classroom items? 🧹💨 Consider donating them to our New Teacher Closet! 📚✏️🧸 We've been met with such a positive response for the New Teacher Closet by our recent graduates, that we're opening up the closet throughout the year to collect more donations in preparation of our next group of teacher graduates!
Did you know? 💭 Teachers often times have to pay for classroom items out-of-pocket, and being a brand new teacher graduate, that can be difficult! We opened the New Teacher Closet, but it is with the generosity and contributions of the community that we can truly help our new teachers! We could not be more thankful to our community and donors for helping to make this happen 💚
NEXT DROP OFF DATE:
December 23, 2025, 10am-1pm
