Supporting teachers helps students.
Tools 4 Clay Schools
The Tools 4 Clay Schools program collects, stores, and distributes school supplies to alleviate the financial burden on teachers and low-income parents. The store allows teachers to “shop” for classroom materials at no cost, helping classrooms in need year-round. Teachers often spend an average of $600 or more from their own pockets on supplies. It shows their commitment, but causes financial strain. By making a monetary or supply donation, you can support our teachers and parents alike.
Who can shop?
Full-time teachers
Social workers
Resource teachers
ESOL teachers
Media specialists

PE, art & music teachers
