The start of Portland Public Schools’ 2024-2025 school year is a little over a month away and teachers are stocking their classrooms with supplies to make sure students have the tools they need to succeed. Oftentimes, teachers use their personal finances to make it happen.
We want to show our support by helping local teachers cross items off their school supply wishlists. If you, or a teacher you know, has a wishlist let us know for a chance to be featured in an upcoming newsletter.
If you’re a teacher and don’t have a wishlist but need help with school supplies, check out Schoolhouse Supplies. The local nonprofit offers a free supplies store for teachers at schools in the Centennial, David Douglas, Gresham-Barlow, Parkrose, PPS, and Reynolds school districts where 50% or more of the students qualify for free and reduced lunch.
