Teacher’s Warehouse – A free store for teachers
The burden falls on teachers when kids don’t have supplies…..
Many Montgomery County School children cannot afford lunch, much less basic school supplies and studies indicate that the average teacher spends between $ 500 and $ 1,000 of his or her own money to buy supplies for their students. Countywide the school budget has been slashed dramatically and there is a great need for student and teacher support.
