Here at Mercy Drops Dream Center, we love supporting teachers and coming alongside them in the in-between. September is a great time to help them kick the new school year off strong... so why do we jump in during January?
We're glad you asked!
This turning point in the school year is when supplies have run low, and teachers are restocking their classrooms with money out of their own pockets to give their students the tools they need to succeed.
The past few years have been a rollercoaster for both teachers and students. From in-person instruction to virtual instruction to hybrid instruction and back again - adjusting to the new normals of education has added to the already larger-than-life stressors educators, and students encounter daily.
This is the fourth year for our School Supply Drive, and every
year our excitement gets bigger about letting our teachers know how much we
value them in ways most practical to them.
Want to join us in creating more stability and security for our teachers over the last half of the school year?We want to gift them with the following:
✔ Calculators
✔ Wide Rule Paper
✔ Pens
✔ Pencils
✔ Pencil Sharpeners
✔ Pencil Pouches
✔ Glue Sticks + Bottles
✔ Crayons
✔ Folders
✔ 3 Ring Binders
✔ One-Subject Notebooks
