Caring For Our Students | Supporting Our Teachers | Helping Our Schools
Deadline extended through Sunday, August 16th!
For the past two years, Journey has provided classroom supplies to JCC teachers and JCC partner schools (San Miguel Elementary, La Mesa Middle School, Bancroft Elementary, Monte Vista High School).
THE NEED!
School Supplies
91 percent of teachers buy basic school supplies for their
students.
Food
2 in 3 teachers (67%) purchase food or snacks to satisfy the basic nutritional needs of their students — even ones who are already enrolled in their schools’ free or reduced-price meal program.
Clothing
1 in 3 teachers purchase clothing for children, including jackets, hats and gloves (30%) or shoes and shoelaces (15%).
Personal Care
18 percent of teachers purchase personal care items, such as toothbrushes and sanitary products.
Hygiene Products
Nearly 1 in 3 teachers (29%) purchase items such as toilet paper and soap that their school cannot provide enough of due to budget cuts.
Field Trips
More than half of all teachers have paid the costs of field trips
for students who couldn’t afford to participate otherwise.
Alarm Clocks
Several teachers reported purchasing alarm clocks for students. Due to work schedules or family circumstances, guardians were unable to wake their children for school, which led to absences and academic under-performance.
