(EMPIRE NEWS NETWORK—ENN)— SAN BERNARDINO, CA—- Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County (CAPSBC), Young Visionaries, and Family & Kids Foundation will be hosting a “Teacher Appreciation Day” on Saturday, October 26, 2019 for all teachers in the Inland Empire. Teachers will be able to “shop” from a wide assortment of age-specific educational materials for their classrooms at no cost. This event is made possible through a generous donation from Family & Kids Foundation and their corporate donor, Teacher Created Resources. Teachers will have access to choose from thousands of various school supplies such as text books, bulletin board materials, charts and student guides for all grades.
Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County will also supplement school supplies with 3-ring binders, glue sticks, pens, pencils and many other items.
“A recent article published by Business Insider on August 15, 2019 stated that while the federal government reports that teachers spend an average of $500 out of pocket on school supplies, some public school teachers who were interviewed reported that they spend as much as $1,000. As a collaboration, we’re honored to support local school teachers and help alleviate some of their out of pocket spending. We value every teacher’s dedication and commitment to ensuring the academic success of their students, and we believe that if we work together we can create a greater impact and provide a brighter future for the students.” – Patricia L. Nickols-Butler, CAPSBC President/CEO
