Every year public school teachers spend money out of their own pockets to support the needs of their classroom.
According to a study done in 2010 by the National School Supply and Equipment Association, public school teachers in the United States spent more than $1.33 billion out of pocket on school supplies and instructional materials.
This year we’re doing a servant evangelism project that lets them know we support them as they support our community in teaching children!
We will be providing bags of supplies containing some of the most requested items. Each bag will contain:
1. Lysol spray
2. Clorox wipes
3. Baby wipes
4. Sharpie markers
5. Post-it notes
These are used in every elementary classroom and represent some of the highest requested but under-funded items. You can bring supplies by Coffee Creek on Sundays July 31 & August 7th.
The goal is to provide 30 classrooms @ Grove Valley Elementary with these starter supplies. You can bring supplies or make a donation online here -http://www.coffeecreek.cc/give
Our packing party to put supplies in bags will be August 9th @ 7:00 PM with distribution on Wednesday, August 10th @ the Teacher Appreciation Breakfast.
