Free for Teachers - Artable Curiosities

THE "IMPACT PROJECT"
FREE MATERIALS FOR EDUCATORS
WHAT is "The Impact Project"
"The Impact Project" - A Free Teacher Reuse Shop with in our Creative Reuse HUB is a specialized facility that provides educators with access to a wide range of free teaching materials, supplies, and resources. The goal is to support teachers in their efforts to create engaging and effective learning environments without the financial burden of purchasing these materials out of their own pockets.
WHY are we passionate about this project?
If you are not an educator you may be unaware of the amount of money educators spend using their own funds for materials in their classroom. Budget cuts have greatly reduced what schools can supply to the classroom. We have an abundance of materials that annually end up in the landfill or for sale when they should be made affordable for our educators to use to teach the next generation.
It really is simple.. GIVE IT BACK or PAY IT FORWARD.
HOW do I get materials if I am an Public or Charter School Educator?
Bring you school ID and an email so that we can add you to the growing list of certified teachers that are obtaining material for their classroom for FREE.
You will download the Express Checkout app and use the barcode system to purcure your items and check out. So simple!
What we are hoping is that when you have materials you no longer need you will donate them to the next teacher who can use them. Reducing the "storage" you have to do to be sure you have what you need.
Thank you for all you do to educate the next generation!! We appreciate you!!
