How to get Free Classroom Supplies

Do you need supplies for your classroom? If you said YES, then you’re in the right place. Let’s look at 3 ways to get FREE classroom supplies from families.

3 Ways to Get Classroom Supplies

1. Have a display at Meet the Teacher or Open House of classroom supplies that you need for the classroom. Use “Lend a Hand” to display hands with one classroom item needed. Then let your families pick one or more classroom items needed.

2. Write a note home to parents and families. Ask parents and families to donate one item or more from the classroom supply list.

3. Not enough supplies in December or March? Give extra credit points to students who bring in classroom supplies. Kids and families will rise to the occasion to help fill the need for your classroom.

Which ever way you choose you can use the Lend a Hand resource to help you. Just print and go! Choose how you will get donations for classroom supplies. Your families will want to help their kids by bringing in at least one item. Let them choose how to help you.
