Educator Holiday Wish Lists
Classroom Champions donors help clear classroom lists
’Tis the season for giving, and Classroom Champions’ donors are eager to help clear our educators’ classroom wish lists. Did you know that teachers spend an average of $750 out-of-pocket on classroom needs annually? And that is just an average amount! 30% of teachers spend more than $1,000.
We asked our Classroom Champions teachers what items are on their wish lists this year, and the needs range from basic cleaning supplies like wipes to engaging learning tools like tablets. We know just how clever and creating and caring our educators are by their requests. Can’t you just imagine what is taking place in these K-8 classrooms by these simple asks?

We are thrilled that our generous community is stepping up to help educators start off the New Year right by helping clear their wish lists. Every classroom deserves to be resourced to support students’ daily learning needs. We know that in order for students to be “ready to learn,” often these basic supplies include health and wellness goods related to nutritional and self-care needs. We also know that students thrive in self-confidence when they feel safe and comfortable. At Classroom Champions, we inspire kids to dream big in school and beyond through our K-8 social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum.
