🎒 Support Wake County Teachers
School is back in session—help a Wake County teacher get the supplies they need. From hand sanitizer to art supplies, teachers across Wake County are sharing Amazon Wishlists to make sure their students have what they need.
✨ This week, we’re highlighting Joshua Williams at Wilburn Elementary, Kristen Hare at Durant Road Elementary, and Gina Bobbitt at East Cary Middle School. You can help by donating items from their wishlists—every contribution goes directly into the classroom.
🍎 Even in well-funded schools, teachers often cover essentials out of their own pockets. Let’s make it easy for them to focus on teaching instead of sourcing supplies.
