As we gear up for another exciting school year, let’s make sure every South Whidbey Elementary student has the tools they need to thrive.
SWEPTA is launching our Teacher Pantry—a year-round resource for educators to replenish classroom supplies and ensure all kids have what they need, when they need it.
When you’re doing your back-to-school shopping, consider picking up a few extra supplies to donate. Markers, pencils, glue sticks, notebooks—these simple items make a huge difference in a child’s day.
Why it matters:
Teachers often spend their own money to keep classrooms stocked.
Some families can’t provide everything on the supply list.
A well-stocked pantry means every child can fully participate in learning, all year long.
How to donate:
Bring your items to the collection bin in the school lobby starting [date]. We’ll keep the pantry stocked so teachers can “shop” for supplies whenever they need them.
Let’s come together as a community to make sure no student is left without the basics. Your generosity helps keep our classrooms creative, collaborative, and ready for learning!
Suggested supplies:
Pencils & pens
Glue sticks
Crayons & markers
Notebooks & folders
Disinfecting wipes
Tissues
Thank you for supporting our teachers, our students, and our school community!
