Some schools may have already returned, but most schools have a September start date, and we love to support our teachers! Classroom budgets get tighter each year, and most educators spend far too much from their own pockets to get their classrooms together to help our kids learn each year. We started a ‘Teacher Wish List‘ on our group page for teachers to be able to post their wish lists for their classrooms in hopes that parents, grandparents or anyone really would ‘adopt’ a teacher by purchasing items off of their lists! Here are the most popular items that teachers are looking for this school year!
