WHAT IS THE MILLION DOLLAR TEACHER TREE?
An opportunity for you to support students by supporting teachers.
The Problem
Each year, teachers spend over $1,000 of their own money on school supplies for their students and classrooms so they can set their students up for a successful school year.
The Million Dollar Teacher Project believes that teachers shouldn’t have to use their limited resources to enable their students’ success, and their own professional development. The Million Dollar Teacher Tree is a vehicle for you, the community, to support our educators with the supplies and training they need to be successful so they, in turn, can make our students successful.
What Do the Different Apples Represent?
These apples are designed to provide the typical day-to-day items in the classroom. Teachers spend can spend upwards of $1,000 out of pocket to have enough supplies yearlong for their students– to alleviate this, the Red Apples were created.
Everyday school supplies include; pencils, notebooks, crayons, hand sanitizer, etc.
These apples are intended to provide a big-ticket item for the teachers. These supplies are typically something that the teachers can use for more than one school year.
Examples include; a class-set of computers or new furniture for the classroom.
Suggested donation amount $500+
These apples are intended to provide any sort of Professional Development which, in turn, gifts them with key knowledge to add to their personal skill-set to better work with their students.
As educators, teachers are constantly looking to continually grow in their profession to not only learn how to better connect with their students, but to also make the learning experience much more exciting.
Suggested donation amount $10 – $100
