The Teacher Locker will once again be offering free school supplies for EVSC students to use as they complete their virtual learning lessons at home.Â
The mission of the Teacher Locker is to supply free resources for teachers, but in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization has expanded its focus to temporarily serve students.
The Teacher Locker held its first student event in early April. Volunteers with the organization handed out more than 1000 learning packets containing notebooks, pencils in a pencil box, and a pencil sharpener. Students in Kindergarten and 1st grade also received a box of crayons
Teacher Locker will again offer the supplies on a “grab and go†to allow volunteers to maintain social distancing. Families are asked to stay in their vehicles and send one person up for the supplies.Â
Supplies will be available for pick-up on:Â
Date:Â Wednesday, April 22, 2020
Time: 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Place: Glenwood Leadership Academy
901 Sweetser Avenue
Teacher Locker represents the work of six powerful educational organizations that joined forces around a common mission: to provide educators with free classroom supplies in order to support teaching, promote student achievement, and drive school success.
Public Educational Foundation, Area Council PTA, the EVSC Foundation, Evansville Teachers Association, EVSC Retired Teachers and the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation are all a part of the committee that has worked the past year to establish a Teacher Locker.
I believe this is an excellent idea. I do not know when the picture was taken but the picture in the print newspaper showed more than one half dozen individuals associated with EVSC crowded shoulder for their picture. What message does this picture send regarding “social distancing?“
