Tulsa Teachers Get Free School Supplies
Shopping for school supplies for their classrooms can be difficult for teachers when they have only a small budget to work with. School supplies are a necessity, and they are utilized quickly, so the costs can add up quickly when stocking and restocking occur.
Good news for Tulsa teachers, however! The Pencil Box is now open to serve the needs of teachers with their school supplies. The difference between The Pencil Box and other stores is that it offers free school supplies to teachers who are needing them the most.
The Pencil Box is a relief program designed to help teachers obtain all the supplies they need without having to use their own money to cover the costs. Oklahoma teacher pay is already one of the lowest in the county, so the last thing anyone wants is for them to have to use their hard-earned personal income for work-related expenses due to low school budgets. Generous donors and fundraisers provide the supplies and operating expenses of The Pencil Box.
The free store started its test run this week and helped several teachers with a $200 credit. They offer many school supplies, ranging from pencils and crayons to protactors and bond paper.
The concept is something new in Oklahoma and a way to help both teachers and students. Teachers can come and obtain school supplies for kids who cannot afford to have their own school tools. And, they can also make sure their classrooms have what they need to provide quality education to their students.
