The Fund For The School District of Philadelphia’s Post

Teachers play such an important role in shaping the minds of our future generations. Take a moment this week to show appreciation for all the hard work and dedication they put into their job every day! One way to show support is by donating to organizations that support teachers, such as the Million Dollar Teacher Project. Additionally, you can donate directly to classrooms to help provide necessary supplies for students. Just ask your nearest school, teacher friends, or send me a message! Another way to show support is by recognizing and thanking teachers on social media. Post about a teacher's dedication and tag them and their school to show your appreciation publicly. If you are a teacher, don't forget to take advantage of some special deals and discounts that are available during Teacher Appreciation Week. Check out this list of places where you can score some great deals: https://shorturl.at/oyzCM Let's all come together to show our gratitude and support for teachers who work tirelessly to educate and inspire our youth. Thank you, teachers, for all that you do! 📚🍎 #TeacherAppreciation #SupportTeachers Timothy Honan + Marcela Campbell + Haven Guyer + Lloyd Hopkins

BACK-2-SCHOOL DRIVE: On average, teachers spend approximately $700 out of pocket each year to stock their classrooms. Help us help your Utah teachers and students by joining our campaign and donating today! #backtoschool #education #teachers #funding #utah #donation #donationdrive

Did you know that most teachers spend at least $500 each year to fund their classroom environment? We purchase snacks, school supplies, classroom decorations, books, organizational equipment, and supplementary curriculum, among other things. In my third year of teaching, I realized that being a teacher didn't have to mean going broke to fund my classroom. I started using programs like DonorsChoose and AdoptAClassroom.org to help me with classroom expenses and projects for my students. I advise both new and experienced teachers to create accounts on these platforms and share them with their friends. These platforms have allowed me to tap into my personal and professional networks to ask for resources. I've found that there are always people willing to support teachers. Like most educators, I can always use a helping hand, and I've found that many are happy to help. Sometimes it's our relatives and friends, and other times it's an anonymous donor or an organization. I've had tremendous success using these platforms over the years, and I'm very grateful that they exist to help teachers. If you're a teacher or you know one who is about to spend a lot of money at Lakeshore for the "biggest sale of the year," please consider signing up for an AdoptaClassroom account first. Then, share your page link with people who know you. The worst thing they can do is ignore it, and the best thing they can do is donate or share your link on their social media timelines. #backtoschool #elementary #education #teachers

It's #GivingTuesday! For families who cannot afford high school tuition, paying for field trips in Belize or abroad is out of the question. But retreats, field trips and summer trips to other countries help students decide who they want to be and what they want to do with their lives. This Giving Tuesday, we are raising money for our Leadership+ students to immerse themselves in learning opportunities outside the classroom. Money is the only roadblock these bright and curious students have in their educational journey; we want to clear the path for them and we need your help to do that. Please consider a monthly gift of $25 that will give access to ongoing extra-curricular opportunities like our STEAM programs, collaborations with colleges like Michigan State University, Youth Theology Network experiences in Boston and local trips that help students imagine what's possible for them professionally and how they might reach their God-given potential. You probably won't miss $25/month; these students won't ever forget it. https://lnkd.in/d64P2saC

The Bay Area Urban Debate League’s (BAUDL) annual end-of-year fundraiser is in full swing, and we are on our way to our goal of $100,000! You can donate here. Thank you to all who have already contributed and shared about our fundraiser, but there is much more work to do to ensure debate education is available to all students within the Bay Area’s most under-resourced public schools. The benefits of debate exceed even academic progress, but help students invest in their own learning and ideas. The findings from this study published by the American Educational Research Association says: “In many ways, debate flips the roles found in a traditional classroom. Rather than passively listening to an adult deliver a lecture, in a debate, students are at the front of the room, taking ownership of their learning… Debate may therefore provide some students with a reason to come to school.” Help us meet our goal of $100,000 by December 31, 2024 with a tax-deductible donation today. Every dollar you give is an investment in debate education and in the future of Bay Area students.

Do you know of a library we can support? I have learned so much about youth literature, funding challenges, and the politicized education challenges. We, as journalists, stay non-partisan but try to offer solutions in the way we would in our day jobs -- tell a story, convene a community, and offer solutions. The May Book Project is an academic approach to building diverse libraries through an AANHPI lens. It helps with student belonging. It's student and scholar-led. It gives librarians a choice -- typically we give schools an opportunity to pick 50 books out of a list of 320+. It supports curriculum to schools and states that will never mandate AANHPI history. We, as humans (and moms!) have to find a way to serve our communities without changing laws. We need to work together, out of silos, to ultimately serve the next generation and the heart of our communities.

Hello Colleagues, Connections, and Friends! The CohnReznick LLP Charlotte office CARES initiative for July has been collecting donations for Classroom Central. Through their partnerships, each $1 donated becomes $9 worth of distributed supplies for students in our community. These donations give students the supplies they need for a successful school year. Every dollar donated (via the link below) through the end of the day today will go to purchasing kits that will be given to local students in need. We will assemble these kits ourselves, and deliver them to Classroom Central next month. Please consider making a small (or large) donation to our local students and teachers! Consider this insight from a 3rd-grade teacher in Charlotte: "There are always unseen challenges for students. As teachers, we strive to understand and address the struggles they face outside the classroom. When kids live in poverty and high-stress environments, focusing on learning to read or understand fractions becomes incrementally more difficult, not to mention the stress of worrying if they can get the necessary books and supplies they need to complete their homework and lessons. With the help of Classroom Central, I can alleviate at least one of their stressors, making it easier for them to feel capable and successful while they're at school." Thank you for any and all donations!! <3 https://lnkd.in/gQezNchQ

Disrupt Gives is supporting a great cause! Did you know that nearly 20,000 in SBISD are considered economically disadvantaged? These students have families who make difficult choices on where to use their resources, and pencils, pens, notebooks, and highlighters are not always near the top of the list. As funding shrinks and economic challenges grow, our campuses and our teachers are unable to fill those gaps. That 's where Spring Branch Education Foundation and generous donors can step in to help. Distupt Gives has joined SBEF School Supplies Co-Chairs, Becky Fenn, and Kristi Robishaw, as they continue to equip Spring Branch ISD students with the tools they need to successfully start the school year. $15 can provide school supplies for a student $330 can provide school supplies for an entire classroom of elementary school students $1,650 can provide school supplies for an entire elementary school grade level Please consider making a donation to SBEF's Project School Supplies https://lnkd.in/gRc7YS2t #nonprofitssupportingnonprofits #sbef #sbisd #students #schoolsupplies
