Guilford Education Alliance is proud to be a part of this transformational program that is making such a difference for Guilford County Schools students!

The Teacher Supply Warehouse will be moving in the New Year! We are incredibly excited about this transition and are currently preparing the warehouse for the move. With the aim of developing the new space, we are putting a temporary hold on accepting donations until further notice. Keep an eye on our social media for more information regarding the new space and when we will begin to accept donations again.

Additionally, Guilford Education Alliance will be closed for the holidays between December 22nd and January 2nd. We hope that you have a lovely holiday season, and we will be in touch with updates in the new year!

For any questions or concerns, please reach out to Lenny Patterson at [email protected].

It was a great day to break ground on the new Sternberger Elementary School! Students who attended Sternberger from 1950 to 2025 were there to celebrate a new beginning for one of the county's oldest public buildings!

The supplies keep rocking and rolling in! Many, many thanks to ALL the supply drive hosts who have supported the Teacher Supply Warehouse this year! Today's highlight is 102 JAMZ (102.1) who invited their listeners to donate supplies. They delivered about 25 boxes of goodies for teachers this morning. Thank you to this generous community!

We are SO grateful for this partnership! These donations have already provided for 22 teachers to have what their classrooms need. Don't overthink - OVER PARK!

Over $1,800 has been donated by paying their parking tickets! 📕

Thank you to everyone who has donated school supplies or donated money to this wonderful campaign to help teachers get what they need for their classrooms. We are only a little over one month in, and with such great success, they have extended this program through October 31, 2025!
