We know teaching is difficult, especially your first year on the job! 

If this is your very first year teaching AND your classroom is in an elementary school in Brown, Greenwood, Jackson, Jefferson, Lyon, Nemaha, Osage or Shawnee County, Kansas, then submit your application!

The SAR jurisdiction includes these counties in Kansas: Brown, Greenwood, Jackson, Jefferson, Lyon, Nemaha, Osage, and Shawnee.

We frequently receive requests for items such as:

  • Items to support students with specific needs such as fidget toys, wobble chairs, chair bands, and bean bags
  • Classroom supplies that may be difficult for parents to provide such as headphones and reusable water bottles
  • Learning tools and charts
  • Classroom organizers
  • Books and games
  • Art supplies

We will select items for each teacher based on our available budget and have them shipped or delivered. Items typically arrive before Thanksgiving.

 Thank you so much for the important work you do!
