Our amazing teachers have been busy creating their classroom wish lists as they prepare for an incredible school year. Every pencil, book, game, and classroom supply helps create a place where our students can learn, grow, and thrive.
If you’d like to support a teacher at East Tate Elementary, we’d love your help! Whether it’s purchasing one item or sharing a teacher’s wish list with others, every act of kindness makes a difference.
We will be continuing to share teacher's wish lists in the comment section as we get them.
