Teachers often use their own funds to supply their classrooms

As the cost of living continues to rise, so too does the cost of equipping a classroom. Teachers today are not only navigating evolving academic standards—they’re also filling funding gaps out of their own pockets. In fact, U.S. educators now spend an average of $895 per year on classroom supplies—nearly five times more than the typical school-provided budget of $200

That’s why community support is more vital than ever.
