Starting at 9 a.m., you will find our 7 Circle of Kindness tent set up outside two Walmart locations where people can drop off any supplies to donate to teachers and students.
Rachel Miller, a kindergarten teacher at Warder Park Wayne Elementary School in Springfield, said the job requires he to spend her money on her own classroom.
“You are like a second family to them, and they are to you,” she said.
Crayons to Classroom told us that almost 2,700 teachers shopped at their store last year.
They picked up over $2.5 million worth of supplies.
“We are that resource for the teachers,” said Amy Kopp, Executive Director of Crayons to Classroom. “We look like a retail store, and the teachers can come here and basically take what they need back to their classroom at no cost for free.”
At the drop-off locations, look for a tent next to:
- Walmart Miller (3465 York Commons Blvd)
- Walmart Sugarcreek (6244 Wilmington Pike)
