The Teachers' Closet provides teachers with free teaching supplies. The Teachers' Closet partners with other organizations in order to buy those supplies.

Our goal is to reach students needing assistance through their teachers and to enrich the school experience for all children. The Teachers' Closet was founded to help teachers obtain supplies for themselves and their students to be used within our community's classrooms. With budget cuts and families struggling to get by, less and less is provided for in our classrooms. Many teachers spend their own money for the supplies their students need to be successful within their classrooms. We also receive monetary donations from private citizens. Donations of goods are also accepted. We have everything from crayons to deodorant to paper to back packs to warm winter hats and mittens to name just a few things. We also fill special requests that teachers might have such as electric pencil sharpeners, student planners, bean bag chairs, etc. We are open two evenings a week and one Saturday a month. The Teachers' Closet is totally run by volunteers and all donated money goes directly to helping teachers and students.

The Teachers’ Closet relies on monetary and goods donations to accomplish its mission. Thank you to those who dropped off “goods” on our October Donation Day this last week! We are so grateful for our generous supporters. Many of our supporters have embraced our mission. People like the Meyers! Jim and Sue have been doing back to school shopping for TTC since 2017. They bring in cases of new school supplies to give out to teachers each fall. Those supplies find their way into many of our area’s classrooms! Thank you all!

It is always fun to hear how items that are taken from TTC are put to use. Here is a great message about some craft items that were put to use at Emmeline Cook Elementary in Oshkosh.

“ I put together some take home kits for our students at Emmeline Cook. I got almost everything needed for these kits from The Teachers’ Closet!

These kits were paired with crafting books that students can borrow from the library. When they borrow one of these books they get a starter kit to begin crafting.

Thanks for making this possible! “

We lost a good one this last week. Condolences to David’s daughter, Cathy. Rest in Peace and Art. You can read about this wonderful teacher here:

A show of artworks by students of artist/educator David Hodge, who taught at Rose C. Swart Campus School at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in the 60s and 70s. Hodge also co-authored the seminal book, 'Art in Depth,' about using innovative techniques to teach art to middle school students.

We aren’t kidding when we tell educators that IT HELPS US when they take everything they need!

We don’t want teachers to be hesitant when taking as much as needed from The Teachers’ Closet. We understand that when educators see all the incredible things we give away, it can make them want to share these cool items with other educators. We love your kind nature and that you want to share these items with others, but let me tell you why we encourage the opposite.

It may seem like a contradiction, but when items are taken, that opens up space for us to get in even more items to support even more teachers. Besides, we encourage EVERY EDUCATOR to come personally to TTC and take what they need, because you all deserve it!
