Mo blogs about the TSW

GCS Supt. Mo Green dispatches a blog entry today about the Teachers Supply Warehouse.

An excerpt:

The warehouse opened in November 2007 serving all Title I schools. Gradually, it grew to include all schools with a free or reduced lunch student population of 50 percent or more.

With the current economic situation forcing us to temporarily freeze our budget, we worked with our warehouse partners, Guilford Education Alliance, Welfare Reform Liaison Project and Leadership Greensboro, to open the doors of the Teacher Supply Warehouse to all GCS teachers, counselors and social workers.

The opportunity was well received. Yesterday afternoon, close to 100 teachers visited the warehouse and left with much needed supplies and some big smiles, all thanks to the many generous organizations and individuals who have made donations.

The Teacher Supply Warehouse takes donations of basic school supplies and new or used office supplies. It also accepts unusual items such as carpet samples, logoed specialty items and conference tote bags - anything our creative teachers can put to use in the classroom. Recently, one teacher took some donated address books and used them as a way for her students to alphabetize their vocabulary words. This is how items that may be of no use can find a new and valuable purpose in the classroom.
