During the 2013-2014 school year U.S. teachers spent an average of $513 out-of-pocket on school supplies. Each year school systems distribute lists of needed supplies to parents, a cost which many households cannot absorb. Without these basic supplies, educators are unable to teach specified curriculum. The learning process is interrupted, especially for elementary students, who develop essential early reading skills in kindergarten through the sixth grade.
While advocates are working to address the systemic policy and budgetary challenges faced by our public education system, the immediate needs of students have never been greater. The UCC Supply Drive makes it easy for you to champion a school supply drive in your community and donate.
