Today, I came across wishiwasanocean's post about iLoveSchools.com in the lj community good_ideas
The website is here:
http://www.iloveschools.com/
From the website: iLoveSchools.com is a free donor-matching service for education! School teachers build WishLists of equipment, materials and supplies; anything they need for their classroom. Donors locate teachers through our WishList search and offer their donations of new or used items or the cost of the teacher's WishList.
100% of donations go directly to a school teacher in need!
How do we do this? Click here for our story.
Each year the average teacher spends over $659 from their own pocket to buy classroom materials for America's kids. To help alleviate this burden iLoveSchools.com acts as a matchmaking service between donor and teacher.
You don't have to be rich to help.
Please consider donating supplies if you can. It can be as simple as donating 30 binders, or sending $30 for schools to buy markers. It doesn't take much effort to help. You can donate classroom materials so that children can continue learning. Help build children's futures, and show your appreciation for teachers. A little bit of help can go a long way.
Teachers' testimonials from the website:
Teacher Stories
Teacher: Karen K.-“I just wanted to say how excited I am about your site! I am a K-1 teacher in an economically disadvantaged rural area. My kids don’t have a lot of things, and as a single parent myself, I can’t do as much for my kids as I would like. Your program gives me an opportunity to expand the learning opportunities for my students. Thank you so much! –
Mableton, GA - “We are in desperate need of books for our students. As a Title 1 school, one of our main goals is that all students will read and comprehend on or above grade level. This year, in order to implement our reading program we are in need of books and supplies that go beyond our budget capabilities. We have an expectation that each of our 21 classrooms have a classroom collection of 500 books.”
