OUR PROGRAMS
We believe students thrive when teachers have the tools they need. That’s why we’ve created practical, high-impact programs designed to meet real needs in classrooms, homes, and schools. From back-to-school support to midyear replenishment to family resources, every program exists to remove barriers and help students succeed.
LaunchBox
A strong school year starts with a strong beginning! Our LaunchBox program provides teachers with essential classroom supplies, helping them begin ready to teach and ready to welcome students into a well-equipped learning environment. These curated supply boxes help reduce out-of-pocket costs for teachers while ensuring students have access to the basics they need from the very first bell.
​
Impact: Back-to-school readiness, teacher support, classroom equity
Happy Haul
Because teachers deserve joy, too! Our Teacher Happy Haul bags are all about encouragement. This program provides surprise giveaways, appreciation items, classroom treats, and morale-boosting resources to remind educators that they are seen, valued, and supported. Sometimes the best resource is simply knowing your community cares.
​
Impact: Teacher encouragement, morale, retention, appreciation
ReStock Box
When supplies run low, learning shouldn’t stop!
By the middle of the school year, many classrooms have already used through their basic supplies. Our ReStock Box program delivers midyear refill kits packed with high-demand essentials like pencils, crayons, glue sticks, notebooks, and more...helping teachers finish the year strong without reaching into their own wallets.
Impact: Midyear classroom support, reduced teacher spending, uninterrupted learning
Homework Kits
Learning doesn’t end when the bell rings. Our Homework Kits provide students with take-home supplies so they can complete assignments and continue learning outside of school. Kits may include pencils, paper, crayons, folders, and other age-appropriate tools that help students stay engaged at home, regardless of financial circumstances.
​
Impact: Academic success, home learning support, student confidence
Counselor Care Kits
Supporting the whole child. School counselors meet students in some of life’s hardest moments. Our Counselor Care Kits equip counselors with items to use in their offices, instruction, and to care for students facing crisis. This program has expanded to offer hygiene products, comfort items, snacks, beds, and other essentials that help students feel safe, seen, and supported.
​
Impact: Student wellness, crisis response, emotional support, school readiness
SPARK
Supporting Public Education Across Rural Kansas! Great teachers serve every community, including those far from major population centers. SPARK expands Project Teacher’s impact into rural and under-resourced districts across Kansas by delivering classroom supplies and educational resources where access can be limited and budgets are often stretched thin. Through SPARK, we help ensure zip code doesn’t determine opportunity.
​
Impact: Rural education support, statewide outreach, equity in access
WHY IT MATTERS
Every pencil, every notebook, every kit, every box represents something bigger: a student who feels prepared, a teacher who feels supported, and a classroom where learning can happen without unnecessary barriers. When teachers are equipped, students thrive...and when students thrive, communities change.
