READY, SET, SUPPLY! DRIVE
Start the school year strong...for teachers and students!
Ready, Set, Supply is how we make sure teachers don’t have to carry the cost of their classrooms alone. Every year, educators spend hundreds (sometimes thousands) of their own dollars on basic supplies. Not extras. Just what students need to learn.
This campaign is our chance to change that.
Between now and the first day of school, we’re coming together to equip classrooms across Kansas so teachers can focus on teaching, not paying out of pocket.
OUR GOAL = $50,000 + THOUSANDS of SUPPLIES!
We’re working to support as many teachers and classrooms as possible before the first day of school—through both donated supplies and financial gifts.
HOST OR JOIN A SUPPLY DRIVE
Collect new, unused school supplies at your workplace, church, or organization. This is perfect for teams, offices, and community groups.
We’ll provide a “Top 10 Most Needed Items” list and all the resources you need. Every item goes directly to teachers and classrooms!
Most Requested Supplies Include:
-
Pencils
-
Composition notebooks
-
Folders
-
Dry erase markers
-
Glue sticks
-
Crayons & markers
(Full list coming soon)
