Teachers are the heart of our communities – inspiring, guiding, and nurturing the next generation. With rising costs and limited school budgets, teachers are faced with under-resourced classrooms and under-equipped students, forcing them to spend out-of-pocket for these essential supplies personally.

Aside from August and September back-to-school, students require a steady replenishment of supplies to keep up with the demands of learning, which is often impossible for many families. This becomes especially urgent right after the holidays.

The Teacher Classroom Kit by Back 2 School America is an abundant assortment of essential school supplies every classroom needs throughout the academic year.

This holiday season, help us Make an Impact in hundreds of classrooms by donating toward this meaningful new program.
