We Missed the Bus!
Announcing our 2024 “We Missed the Bus” Teachers’ School Supplies Drive
July 15th to August 15, 2024. Lisa Arakaki is leading this project – Thank you Lisa!
Why Does South SLO County Womenade hold a teachers’ school supplies drive?
Womenade is about meeting urgent and emergency needs in south SLO County. We believe that teachers’ school supplies are an urgent need!
In the Lucia Mar Unified School District most of our schools are Title 1 Schools. Title 1 provides all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.
94% of teachers reach into their own pockets to purchase classroom necessities
On average, educators spend somewhere between $500 and $750 of their own money every year on things students need, with many spending more than $1,000.
Inflation has increased the prices of school supplies by almost 24% in the last 2 years
The need to spend so much of their income for supplies is part of what drives educators away from the profession.
Educators make lower salaries than other similarly educated professionals.
Students perform better when they have the proper tools to learn.
Here is a list of school supplies that teachers in our district have asked for:
Glue sticks
BABY wipes
Blue Clorox wipes (to clean surfaces)
Painters Tape
Masking Tape
Markers
Colored marker sets for students
Large Sharpies for Poster Board
Dry Erase both Color/Black
Strong Magnets/Magnet Clips
Scotch Laminating Sheets
Durable Folders
Avery Labels 6427
