One teacher at a time. Fully funded.
$1 from every bottle goes to one Maryland teacher's classroom goal. Here is exactly how it works, and every classroom you have helped stock.
Ms. James
School counselor · Magnolia Middle School in Joppa, MD
“Every child deserves to feel valued and heard. As a school counselor, I want to offer students a safe space for them to express their feelings and concerns.”Ms. James, in her own words
You did it. Ms. James's classroom goal is covered. The next teacher starts next month.
How the fund works
- 1One teacher takes the spotlightA Maryland teacher sets a real classroom goal herself, for the things she would otherwise buy out of pocket.
- 2Every bottle counts$1 from every bottle goes toward her goal. A Trio counts as three bottles. No minimums, no fine print.
- 3She hits 100%When the goal is covered, we make the donation to her classroom. 100% of it reaches the teacher, and we share what she bought with it.
- 4Then the next classroomWe stay with her until her goal is fully funded, then the next teacher starts the following month. No teacher gets dropped halfway.
