Congratulations to our first Grand Winners:
Sheila Hester from Whitaker Elementary has won the Rolling File Cabinet with hanging files and Kim Peatross from Griffith Elementary has won the White Board! Please remember to shop again this quarter (November - January) and have another chance to win!
The Educator Warehouse, a collaboration of Forsyth Education Partnership and Winston-Salem Forsyth County Council of PTAs, is a fabulous new facility where teachers can “shop” among thousands of new and gently-used donated items for use in their classrooms. Donations come from local businesses, organizations, and individuals.
Located in a pod behind Diggs-Latham Elementary School, the Educators’ Warehouse is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 – 6:30 PM on school days and the second and fourth Saturdays of each month from 9:00 AM - 12:00 Noon. Teachers sign up online to visit the Warehouse on a specific day. All classroom teachers are allowed three visits per school-year and can shop for a designated amount of supplies during each visit. Because we rely on donations, the inventory is always changing!
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Donate! The Educator Warehouse depends on the donations of supplies, funds, and time from our community. For a list of suggested donations, visit the Donate page. In addition to classroom supplies, we need funds to supplement the donated supplies and cover our nominal overhead expenses. All donations are 100% tax-deductible. Make checks payable to Forsyth Education Partnership - PO Box 141 - Winston-Salem, NC 27102.
Volunteer! The Educator Warehouse is currently a 100% volunteer operation. To ensure that we are open on a regular basis, we need a dedicated volunteer force. Whether you can commit to one day a week or just once a month, please consider volunteering some time with the Educator Warehouse. When you see the smiles and gratitude on the faces of the teachers, you'll be glad you did! For more information, go to the Volunteer page.
The Educator Warehouse is a project of Forsyth Education Partnership and Winston-Salem Forsyth County Council of PTAs. Both organizations are 501(c)3 non-profit organizations.
