Teacher Locker
The Teacher Locker:
Supporting Teachers = Supporting Students
The Teacher Locker is a place where EVSC teachers grades K-6 can receive FREE school supplies for their classroom at no cost to the teacher. The goal is to reduce what teachers spend out of their own pockets for their classrooms. Please note this will not be a substitute for parents buying annual supplies as required by the EVSC or a location where parents receive free supplies for the year.
This is a six way collaborative partnership between the EVSC; EVSC Foundation: Public Education Foundation of Evansville; Evansville Area Council PTA; Evansville Teachers Association and Evansville Retired Teachers Association.
MISSION STATEMENT
Teacher Locker is a place where the community can come together to provide free classroom supplies in order to support teaching, promote student achievement and drive school success.
VISION
EVSC Teachers will never have to worry about purchasing classroom supplies and materials out of their own pockets.
What We Do
We work with individuals, local partners, and other community organizations to generate funding and in-kind donations for EVSC classrooms. Supplies we accept include (but are not limited to): notebooks, pencils, pens, paper, glue, scissors, markers, paint, art supplies, decorations, calculators, staplers, and binders. Right now, our most at-need item is new or gently-used desktop organizers. We gladly accept donations of classroom items from current and retired educators.
