A big THANK YOU goes out to our sponsors! The Teacher Store would not be able to provide classroom supplies to educators and their students without the generous support of these amazing local businesses.

Teacher Store Sponsorship Opportunities
Local educators consistently spend their own money to supply basic and necessary school supplies for their students who may otherwise go without. According to The National Education Association, over 90% of teachers nationwide spend their own money on classroom supplies without reimbursement, with expenses averaging between $500 and $750 each year. This is where the Teacher Store steps in, helping to fill that gap.
Supplies provided by the Teacher Store include, but are not limited to, pencils, paper, markers, folders, notebooks, ear buds, calculators, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies. To provide these essential items, the Teacher Store relies on the generosity of local businesses and individuals like you for donations. Below are sponsorship opportunities for general donation levels and exclusive special events for your review. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated.
