PHOENIX – (BUSINESS WIRE) – 7. October 2021–
The University of Phoenix donated essential school supplies to Treasures 4 Teachers, a Creative Reuse Center in Tempe, AZ. The items donated ranged from teaching materials to utensils for the teacher’s lounge and will benefit local students and teachers.
According to a June 2021 survey, teachers in the United States spent over $ 750 out of pocket on school supplies for their students in the 2020/2021 school year. Treasures 4 Teachers’ goal is to bridge the gap between the need for school supplies and the resources available in the local Phoenix community.
“Without basic learning tools, students face unnecessary barriers to learning. We are very excited to make this donation to Treasures 4 Teachers and to support them in their mission to support teachers and help students on their way to become productive members of society, ”said Pamela Roggeman, Ed.D., Dean of the College of Education at the University of Phoenix.
The University of Phoenix donation included: office, school, and art and craft supplies; Easels and flip charts; Sign stands; Carts; Bulletin and whiteboards; Sports equipment; Mini fridges; Microwaves; Keurig machines; Board and carnival games; and decorations.
“We are so grateful for the important donations from the University of Phoenix to support teachers and students they serve. After a year like no other, the need of teachers and students for teaching and office materials has more than doubled. These donations enable us to provide more material to the teachers who need them so badly, to comply with health guidelines and to ensure students don’t have to share the material, ”said Barbara Blalock, Founder and General Manager of Treasures 4 Teachers.
Treasures 4 Teachers is a member-based resource and materials store that provides educators in Arizona with access to a wide variety of materials, resources, and training to enhance and expand the learning process. Since the operation is donation based, Treasures 4 Teachers can offer these materials to teachers for free or at low cost.
