Back to school season is in full swing, and the 2023-2024 school year is coming up fast. We asked the community to submit wishlists from local educators so we can help them start off the school year with a stocked classroom — without having to dip into their own pockets.

Show some love for these local teachers by purchasing items on their wishlists. Click the links below to shop the full lists, with items going directly to the teachers.

Molly Dennehey | Enka High School

"Her Facebook post says that since she teaches high school, it's more about making her room comfy and inviting. She is also looking for cushions for the floor because she says her desks are small and many of her students prefer to sit in the floor to do their work." - Kathye Shuman
