I have had the opportunity to work in several different schools during my professional career thus far. I have also had the pleasure to work with a multitude of amazing teachers and educators. I see them change lives everyday. That is why I am so excited that thredUP, my favorite online store, is partnering with AdoptAClassroom.org to recognize and thank teachers for their hard work and the positive impact they make each day on our children’s lives.
Teachers are extremely generous with their time as well as their money. According to AdoptAClassroom.org,teachers spend an average of $500 of their own money each year to equip their classrooms. 70% of teachers have even purchased apparel items like jackets, socks and shoes for their students. It’s a statistic that I am certainly not surprised to read and I know that many teachers, in fact, spend much more than that! You can read the inspiring nominations and watch an adorable video of kids thanking teachers, plus find new survey data from AdoptAClassroom.org at thredUP.com/Teachers. You can also find out more information about the campaign there.
Here are the details:
