Think of the teachers as school nears
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — As schools across Indianapolis begin their new academic year, parents are encouraged to support teachers by providing essential classroom supplies.
Kate Baumgartner from Indianapolis Moms, and former teacher herself, emphasizes the importance of helping educators with items like tissues, sanitizing wipes, and hand soap to maintain cleanliness and prevent the spread of germs.
“What I like to do is before school starts, I’ll go on to the teacher’s Amazon wish list and just kind of send them little welcome gifts from my family,” Baumgartner said.
Baumgartner suggests checking teachers’ Amazon wish lists to help with classroom décor and supplies, as many of these items come out of teachers’ pockets. Basic supplies like pencils and glue sticks are always needed since students often forget or lack these essentials.
Celebrating classroom successes is also important, Baumgartner said, as many school districts lack budgets for parties and celebrations.
WISH-TV’s Gr8 Paper Push, in partnership with Teachers Treasures, is collecting school supplies to support local educators.
